GtkD (the Gtk+bindings for the D language) why compile it? -


i've been using gtkd d programming language create native applications. i've downloaded necessary files , got running can compile , produce sample apps.

my question in of guides tells compile gtkd on platform using point? once compiled end single lib file on windows (gtkd.lib) , 3 lib files on linux (ending in *.a). these files , how used? said seems working without doing these files.

i'm guessing can statically link these? what's for? avoid compiling gtkd source each time? did try using pragma('lib', 'gtkd.lib') statement didn't seem anything.

can shine light on or explain why these files needed?

source files imported aren't compiled, parsed symbol names , function signatures (and templates)

creating libs avoid needing recompile entire library each time need rebuild , compiler can use .di files imports

this stems olden days compiling took ages, , can used keep library closed source
