I forgot that I have to add some DUB dependencies. So I have to use `dub` instead of `dmd`.
My strategy is to

1) Create a D function which will be called in C++.
2) Build a static library containing the D function (using `dub build`).
3) Build an executable file with CMake.

However, I get an `ld` error:

```
/usr/bin/ld: ../libhello-sdl.a(app_1_144.o):(.text.d_dso_init[.data.d_dso_rec]+0x22): undefined reference to `_d_dso_registry'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/framework.dir/build.make:85: framework] Fout 1 make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:76: CMakeFiles/framework.dir/all] Fout 2
make: *** [Makefile:84: all] Fout 2
```

I do not know what `_d_dso_registry` is. Therefore, I don't know how to solve this problem.

I figured out a strategy to solve te problem:

1) Create a C++ function which will be called in D.
2) Build a static C++ library with CMake and add dependencies (In my case: SDL libraries)
3) Create a new project (`dub init`).
4) Add these lines to `dub.json`:

```
        "dflags": ["-L-lstdc++"],
        "lflags": ["-Lbuild", "-lframework", "-lSDL2"],
```

- `-L-lstdc++` is needed to use standard C++ functions.
- `-Lbuild` is to add the `build` directory a library path (this is the directory where my earlier compiled C++ library is in). - `-lframework` is used to link my earlier compiled C++ library `libframework.a`. - And finally `-lSDL2` because that is a dependency used by my C++ library.

Now I can add dependencies for my D code as well using `dub add`!
