The -L switch is just for sending switches to the linker. On OSX and

Optlink has a switch that does the same thing as the -l switch for
linking to a library.
I don't believe there is anything like that. You just pass the lib name.
dmd foo.d bar.lib
You also pass a library path like so:
dmd foo.d bar.lib -L+../path/to/libs
This difference between Windows and other platforms creates a minor
annoyance when making cross-platform build scripts for D (which, since
dub came along, I don't worry about anymore). I vaguely recall a
discussion around here somewhere about having DMD hide all of that
behind a uniform syntax on the command line, for the library stuff at
least. But it obviously didn't go anywhere.
