Hi,
I am sitting in front of this problems for hours now and I need help:
I need the a linker that is capable of delayed DLL loading and
apparently, OPTLINK does not provide this option.
unilink and Microsofts incremental linker support it so I would like to
use one of them but I cannot manage to get it to work.. :/
When I try to replace the OPTLINK Linker with set LINKCMD=... then dub
still tries to use the default argument list from OPTLINK, that
obviously does not work with other Linkers.
So what am I doing wrong
When compiling a 32-bit executable with DMD on Windows, you get OPTLINK
by default. This has nothing to do with dub. You can use the MS linker
by compiling a 64-bit exe (-m64), provided you have it installed and DMD
is properly configured to use it. Also, I've read somewhere on here
about support for the MS linker in 32-bit DMD with a special flag
(-ms32coff IIRC), but I'm not sure if it's in the latest beta or what. A
search of the newsgroup should turn something up for you if someone else
doesn't give you the right answer first.
