My problem seems to be the same as the one that popped up here
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10095150/std-net-curl-linker-errors-in-linux)
2 and half years ago. I have to link manually in order to use
std.net.curl. I mainly posting here to ask whether there is a
solution for this in sight or something. Not that it would be a
major problem - one additional line in the makefile - but it
feels bad nevertheless.

Just for demonstration:

import std.string;
import std.stdio;
import std.net.curl;

void main() {
	string html = cast(string)get("http://www.dlang.org");
	writeln(html);
}

dmd main.d -c -o main
gcc main.o -o main -m32 -Xlinker -L/usr/lib -Xlinker -L/usr/lib64
-Xlinker --no-warn-search-mismatch -Xlinker --export-dynamic
-lphobos2 -lpthread -lm -lrt -lcurl

works, whereas

dmd main.d

creates a whole bunch of errors like

"/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libphobos2.a(curl.o): In function
`_D3std3net4curl4Curl19_sharedStaticCtor28FZv':
std/net/curl.d:(.text._D3std3net4curl4Curl19_sharedStaticCtor28FZv+0x6):
undefined reference to `curl_global_init'"

So yeah, is there something done regarding this long known error,
should I post a bugreport somewhere or anything?

regards.
