Well the opengl module depends on the util module. The util module declares a load of stuff duplicated by the windows module so importing them both without aliasing is impossible. All I want is to import the raw opengl and win32 functions.
Derelict is raw OpenGL + automatically loading the dynamic libraries. I'm looking at the Dreliect3 source code. I can't see that it publicly import any Windows types/functions from the OpenGL files. If file "main" imports file A which imports file B, that doesn't mean that "main" will have access to file B. As far as I can see, you shouldn't have any conflicts.

I've got my program partially working using the old win32.windows module with an opengl module I got from elsewhere which included "opengl32.lib", but doesn't define glViewport... I would like to use the opengl module from deimos if possible - it doesn't need to be particularly up to date - but I don't know how to get/generate the .lib file for it. Are the .lib files used with D just C/C++ .lib files? If so what are the requirements of them - .lib files from the windows SDK don't seem to be compatible? Do I need to generate them instead from the .d files?
Yes, they are just regular C .lib files. But if you're using DMD 32bit they need to be in the OMF format but the Microsoft linker and SDK uses the COFF format.
Also the program I'm compiling is bringing up a console window when it runs, even though I'm setting the subsystem to "Windows" and using "WinMain" exactly as the documentation describes.
You need to add the following flag when compiling : -L/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE:4.0 -- /Jacob Carlborg
