Creating a dynamic library on Linux with DMD

[Robert Fraser]

Yes; it is. Use extern(C) and don't worry too much about the calling convention stuff (I got it working on Linux and Windows). If you need the JNI, you need to wrap the header (I used bcd.gen and did some manual editing after that). I'm working on a transparent Java-D interop layer, but it's on hold for a while; I'll probably get back to it this fall. I can send you what I have so far if that'd be helpful. So, basically, no, you don't need a C library, just compile the D library as a standard shared object.

All the best,
Fraser
