The older “cross compiling Go with Zig” post might give a good start if you want to figure it out

I had a look at the post. It only shows how to tell the Go compiler how to use Zig as the C Compiler. In our case, what we need is to tell Zig to link the object files created by D.

I've had a look and saw that Zig is still implementing the `ld` command, but there's already a `ld.ldd` command which might work if you know what magical options to use. I've tried to link my D object file but it can't find a whole lot of generated symbols, and a quick search online does not tell me where do I get those symbols from. That's always what happens when I try to do stuff with D that's not well documented.

I tried this (used the dmd -v option to get the linker command):

    zig ld.lld -L/Users/me/dlang/dmd-2.109.1/osx/bin/../lib  app.o

Output:

```

```

Do you know how to get past that?

Looks like the D runtime library isn't being linked in.

I have to confess to mostly just lurking Zig with interest, but not _actually_ knowing what I'm talking about. I do know their linker game has improved a _lot_ since that old Go article, so it's quite likely that Zig can do what you want. You might want to try their IRC or Discord.
