Description Andrea Manzini 2024-02-03 16:25:59 UTC 
To reproduce on a Tumbleweed installation:

# zypper in dmd dub

sudo zypper in dub dmd
Loading repository data...

Resolving package dependencies...

The following recommended package was automatically selected:
  phobos-devel

The following 4 NEW packages are going to be installed:
  dmd dub libphobos2-0_105 phobos-devel


# cat > main.d
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
    writeln("Hello, world");
}

# dmd main.d

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/13/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lphobos2: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Error: linker exited with status 1

as a workaround, installing 

# zypper in phobos-devel-static 

the main executable gets created

I see the same issue on a Tumbleweed installation.

Error: linker exited with status 255
       cc hello.o -o hello -m64 -Xlinker --export-dynamic -L/usr/lib64 -Xlinker -Bstatic -lphobos2 -Xlinker -Bdynamic -lpthread -lm -lrt -l

Obviously the DMD compiler requests to link the phobos2 library statically.

Thus the package 'phobos-devel-static' should go into the recommended packages for DMD.
Comment 2 Andrea Manzini 2024-07-03 06:53:09 UTC 
fixed with latest update to 2.109.1:
