and how does one link in compiled static libraries into a dub

I tried adding stuff like
"lflags" : ["+C:\\MyLibs\\"],
with the .lib file in it, but that doesn't work. (I'd expect
to have to supply the file name somewhere, at least)
Thanks.
I agree with all your other points. Telling explicit what's
going on would help a lot in daily business. Not only for D but
all compiler stuff. But it seems to be tradition to not do this.
Anyway, regarding the static libs. I used this on a Win64
project and it works:
"lflags" : [
"D:\\develop\\cairo\\cairo\\src\\release\\cairo-static.lib",
"D:\\develop\\cairo\\libpng\\libpng.lib",
"gdi32.lib"
],
Thanks, that works but
1. *not a valid lib file* (glfw3.lib) ;/ Ok,
2. What about 64? Does one have to maintain two branches for that?
I don't understand why the trend is not to be verbose but to hide
details ;/ It's simply the wrong way.
1. Trying windows link instead, remember having problems like
this in the past with optlink.
"LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file '_CMDLINE'"
;/
tried converting with coffimplib, not an import library. Another
rabbit hole to go down ;/ (Why do programmers make programmers
life hell?)
After trying other various things that didn't work, I'm done for
today... too frustrating. Hopefully I'll come back tomorrow with
a nice surprise.
