My goal was to learn D and Direct3D at the same time.

I've tried to set up DMD to do this, but I keep running into issues that the available DirectX11 and win32 headers are incomplete, or won't compile (tried both dmd 2.063 and 2.064, they halt on different type errors), or won't link.

To be fair, these are only a few errors, but when the linker spews out some obfuscated function name I really don't know what to do.

Will I have more luck with GDC? Or should I try to make headers on my own incrementally? (or take the easy route and use C++?)

i'm currently trying to get up DirectX(d3d10(x),d3d11(x),xaudio2,x3daudio,d3dmath) up and running in free time, but i constantly encounter serious problems on my way. now i have some weird problems with COM(no COM - no DirectX).

so i don't recommend anyone even try it(DirectX) now, unless one is truly skilled with C++

p.s. for working win32 with dmd 2.063.2 go there(don't forget to convert .lib's to OMF, use coffimplib from digitalmars ftp) - https://github.com/AndrejMitrovic/DWinProgramming/tree/master/WindowsAPI

What it has to do with C++?
