We can build static library directly from the compiler:
$ ldc2 --lib app.d
produces app.a file with app.o inside of it.
Are there simple way to make a static library that also
includes necessary standard D libraries (i.e., phobos2 and
druntime)?
Compiler already knows (?) paths to default static libs because
it have --static option which produces static executable with
all necessary libs inside. (Although I'm not sure that it works
by this way)
Point is that D can be not a main language of the project and
it is unconvient to extract by somehow paths to phobos and
druntime at last stages of project build.
ldc2 has the --static option, though, looking from ldc2 --help
I'm not 100% sure exactly what that does.
If that doesn't work we cat get a little creative:
$ cat hello.d
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
writeln("hello, world!");
}
$ ldc2 -c hello.d # creates hello.o
$ gcc hello.o /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libphobos2-ldc.a
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdruntime-ldc.a -lm -lz -o hello
$ ./hello
hello, world!
$
