After serveral hours of searching and reading I think it's coming down to sandboxing and needing to deploy libraries in a place that excel can find them. The library DMD creates just references /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib and Excel can load my dylib. LDC on the other hand additionally references: @rpath/libphobos2-ldc-shared.95.dylib (compatibility version 95.0.0, current version 2.0.95) @rpath/libdruntime-ldc-shared.95.dylib (compatibility version 95.0.0, current version 2.0.95) So Excel complains that it can't load my library - presumably because libphobos2 and libdruntime are not in the sandbox.ly Can anyone (either tell me how to fix this) or give me pointers pls? (I'm current reading up on DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH (shouldn't use that), sandboxing on Mac, and rpaths) I suppose a solution that allows the additional libraries to be put in a subdirectory of my library would be idea as then I can deploy that within the sandbox.

Create a exports.lst file with:
_addDD_D
as the only line there.
Build with:
"lflags-osx-ldc": [ "-exported_symbols_list", "exports.lst",
"-dead_strip" ],
