Then, basically all you have to do is to tell the linker to
link against your C .lib.
Remember that -LC:\folder (for dmd) passes "C:\folder" on to
the linker. Assuming the library folder flag for your linker is
-L, you'd want to use -L-LC:\folder.
I already ported the header file to d. What I can't get to work
is linking a dynamic library.
The whole -L-L is definitely not intuitive. The optlink
documentation doesn't even describe a -L option. Anyway, it
doesn't give an error when I use a plus so I tried
dmd <file.d> -L-L+C:\folder\
and it still isn't picking it up. I figured I needed to tell the
linker what the file actually is, so I tried
dmd <file.d> -L-L+C:\folder\ -L-lib+<libfile.lib>
and that (and a variety of variations) gives errors that LIB
isn't recognized.
