The compiler already has -defaultlib and -debuglib flags also. But what's really needed are checked and non-checked libraries (ie. no flags and -release) not... something and -debug. It's been a while, but I think -debuglib applies to appls built with -debug set. _______________________________________________ phobos mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/phobos
