help using dmd on linux

[Bill Baxter]

I'm trying out D on Linux for the first time and am having trouble 
linking a program with extra library dependencies.

This should be simple for anyone who has compiled on Linux before.

Namely I'm trying to compile the sdl example in the Derelict examples 
directory.

Here's the type of compile command I've tried to use:

$ bud sdl_ex1.d -I../DerelictSDL -I../DerelictUtil -L-L../lib 
..lib/libDerelictSDL.a ../lib/libDerelictUtil.a

And various variations on that.  But I keep getting a few pages errors like:

gcc: /[path]/Derelict/DerelictSDL/derelict/sdl/sdl.o: No such file or 
directory


Am I just not passing the -L../lib parameter right?
