It there any recipe to compile x64 .dll without dependencies?
I mean it shoud be used without installing things like
msvcr120.dll.
Dependencies on system dll (advapi32.dll, kerner32.dll) is ok.
I don't experiment on linux yet. But interest too.
What we do here in dub.json, for no deps on big 3 desktop OSes:
"targetType": "dynamicLibrary",
"dflags-linux-dmd": ["-defaultlib=libphobos2.a"],
"dflags-osx-ldc": ["-static"],
"dflags-linux-ldc": ["-link-defaultlib-shared=false"],
"dflags-linux-x86_64-ldc": ["-fvisibility=hidden"],
"dflags-windows-ldc":
["-mscrtlib=libcmt","-fvisibility=hidden",
"-link-defaultlib-shared=false"],
Additionally on (Windows + DUB + LDC), you will need to set an
envvar:
DFLAGS=-fvisibility=hidden -dllimport=none
else you may still depend upon a dynamic phobos.
It's unfortunate situation for such a common requirement...
