Unfortunately that depends completely on what buildsystem you're using. 
But if you're just calling the compiler directly, then it's really easy:

 > dmd -lib -of=myLib.a [all other flags your project may need] 
fileYouWantInLib.d anyOtherFileYouAlsoWant.d

 > dmd myLib.a [your project's usual flags, and all the rest of your .d 
files]

If on windows, then just replace ".a" with ".lib".
