How do you use -L to link in the library?


Here is the DMD command I'm trying to convert to rebuild.

dmd gld.lib ..\gl\opengl32.lib ..\gl\glu32.lib ..\win32\win32.lib 
..\win32\gdi32.lib ..\win32\winmm.lib -version=WindowsXP -Isource 
-I..\gl\imports -I..\win32\imports -Iimports -oftriangle.exe 
-L-L/exet:nt/su:windows:4.0 source\examples\triangle.d


When I simply replace dmd with rebuild -v, it prints the link message 
below, which doesn't contain any of the libs.

rebuild -v gld.lib ..\gl\opengl32.lib ..\gl\glu32.lib ..\win32\win32.lib 
..\win32\gdi32.lib ..\win32\winmm.lib -version=WindowsXP -Isource 
-I..\gl\imports -I..\win32\imports -Iimports -oftriangle.exe 
-L-L/exet:nt/su:windows:4.0 source\examples\triangle.d

link      dmd .\triangle.obj .\gld.obj .\gld_-internal.obj 
.\gld_-win32-platform.obj .\gld_-win32-window.obj .\gld_-enable.obj 
.\gld_-win32-fullscreen.obj .\gld_-win32-enable.obj 
.\gld_-win32-init.obj .\gld_-win32-time.obj .\gld_-win32-glext.obj 
.\gld_-win32-thread.obj .\gld_-win32-joystick.obj .\gld_-glext.obj 
.\gld_-image.obj .\gld_-stream.obj .\gld_-window.obj .\gld_-tga.obj 
.\gld_-thread.obj  -oftriangle.exe -L-L/exet:nt/su:windows:4.0


If I use -L on the first library "gld.lib", it produces an link error 
"OPTLINK : Warning 9: Unknown Option : NOIGLD.LIB"

rebuild -v -Lgld.lib ..\gl\opengl32.lib ..\gl\glu32.lib 
..\win32\win32.lib ..\win32\gdi32.lib ..\win32\winmm.lib 
-version=WindowsXP -Isource -I..\gl\imports -I..\win32\imports -Iimports 
-oftriangle.exe -L-L/exet:nt/su:windows:4.0 source\examples\triangle.d

link      dmd .\triangle.obj .\gld.obj .\gld_-internal.obj 
.\gld_-win32-platform.obj .\gld_-win32-window.obj .\gld_-enable.obj 
.\gld_-win32-fullscreen.obj .\gld_-win32-enable.obj 
.\gld_-win32-init.obj .\gld_-win32-time.obj .\gld_-win32-glext.obj 
.\gld_-win32-thread.obj .\gld_-win32-joystick.obj .\gld_-glext.obj 
.\gld_-image.obj .\gld_-stream.obj .\gld_-window.obj .\gld_-tga.obj 
.\gld_-thread.obj  -oftriangle.exe -Lgld.lib -L-L/exet:nt/su:windows:4.0


I would recommend making it work as similar as DMD as possible. With 
DMD, I just list the libraries along with the source and object files.

Thanks,
