Maybe LDC uses dynamic linking by default and DMD static one,
same as on Linux?
Yes, LDC does use dynamic linking by default (as MSVC iirc).
Static linking can be enabled by providing the
-DLINK_WITH_MSVCRT=OFF switch to the CMake command.
OK, but why does that need to happen? I don't get why does
linking with MS linker
implies a runtime dependency.
I thought we would be left out of these sort of problems when
using D :(
druntime is a layer on top of a C runtime, as redoing all of that
low-level and platform-specific stuff in D doesn't make a lot of
sense. Then it's just a choice of linking dynamically or
statically against it. Doesn't have anything to do with the used
linker.
