Seems it needs the -L flag on each: dmd -L-framework -LCarbon main.d
Because -Xlinker is being used, "-Wl,-framework,Carbon" doesn't work.
It worked. Thanks. It's a little annoying that all three compilers
have to use different commands for this.
Yeah, it's somewhat annoying. Versions have the same problem, too:
dmd -version=foo
gdc -fversion=foo
ldc -d-version=foo
Of course one can use a build tool or development environment to add
those, or use the gdmd and ldmd wrappers which might not work for libs.
(it would however be nice if DMD for Mac OS X could be taught to accept
the most straightforward syntax for it, i.e. "dmd -framework Carbon")
I asked that ldc should add this but they said something about a linker
flag shouldn't be available as a compiler flag.
The most intriguing part was trying to link frameworks with "pragma",
where the build tool will automatically add a friendly "-l" for you...
The workaround is to include a library that is always available/used,
and then append the real framework linker flags after that library:
version (build) { pragma(link, "System -framework Carbon"); }
--anders
I didn't know you could do that. It would be nice if the built in
pragma(lib, ""); would work like pragma(link, "");
