Just a tip for everybody, but Under Linux, you can do a lot
with the Linker commands you know those -L ones, besides being
able to link with shared, you can also specify where the ELF
binary will look to find your D shared library, by using -L-r
which embeds a search path in your ELF binary, handy for
updateable libraries, or a plugin system. I have a complete
example somewhere on my laptop if anyone is interested. This is
a native feature of ld so it should work almost anywhere.
For a plugin system, wouldn't you use dlopen and link to dl?
Also, you might as well use LD_LIBRARY_PATH and rpath-stripped
libs/bins instead which seems like the cleaner solution to me.
