OptLink and D DLL creation

[Derek Parnell]

I'm trying to get OptLink to create a DLL. Note: I'm not using DMD to
invoke OptLink, but doing it myself. 

Using the D source file example found at 

   http://www.digitalmars.com/d/dll.html#Dcode

I can compile this using DMD quite ok.

  dmd -c mydll.d 

I then try this ...

  set LIB=c:\dmd\lib;c:\dm\lib
  link mydll.obj,mydll.dll,mydll.map,phobos.lib,mydll.def/noi/map

where mydll.def looks like ...

  LIBRARY "mydll.dll"
  EXETYPE NT
  SUBSYSTEM WINDOWS,5.0
  CODE PRELOAD DISCARDABLE SHARED EXECUTE
  DATA PRELOAD SINGLE WRITE

And optlink spews forth ...

Now this looks a lot like another library or object file(s) is required to
make it work. What is that? Or how do I call OptLink to make it happen.

Note that just using dmd to do both compile and link steps works fine.


  dmd mydll.d mydll.def


I want to do it in separate steps, so just humor me and assume that this is
a valid request.
