Update: the dub "dynamicLibrary" target option is busted on
Windows and does not build anything at all. This should be
filed as a bug.
Update again: I got the Windows DLL to build and run without
crashing, but I don't know how to put specific platform
options in dub. I need "dflags" "-defaultlibrary=phobos2" or
something on Linux but not Windows.
Try this (for dub.json)
"dflags-linux": ["-defaultlibrary=phobos2"]
For platform/architecture/compiler specific variants just add
suffix like this, also works with lflags, and I guess pretty much
any other options.
"dflags-linux" : ["specific flags for linux"]
"dflags-windows" : ["specific flags for windows"]
"dflags-windows-dmd" : ["more flags if building with dmd"]
"dflags-windows-dmd-x86" : ["even more flags if building for x86
using dmd"]
Also, what do you do if the shared library needs to refer to
types in the main static library?
You need to link it with your DLL, this will however will create
lots of duplicated symbols in your executable.
In most cases this is undesireable, so instead one will usually
put all common stuff into DLL and share across main executable
and other DLL's that relies on it.
On Windows however DLL support is unfinished, so you are stuck
with hacks and/or static libs option.
