Sorry the option should be -L/IMPLIB:.. - with single slash but
you only need this if you are trying to create a shared library

I believe to create a static library you need to use -lib, else
it is an app so you need to supply a main function.

The single slash didn't make a difference. I tried that myself
before posting. I got the same error.
I'm not trying to created a shared library in D. My goal is to
use a shared library from C in D. Right now, I'm working with a
simple test case to make sure I could understand it before
working with the actual shared library I want to use.
I recall some discussion in LearningD (don't have it in front of
me now) that different types of shared libraries are needed on
32bit vs. 64bit because there is a different linker. This is what
I did to created the shared library:
gcc -Wall -fPIC -c <file>.c -I.
gcc -shared -o <libfile>.dll <file>.o -I.
implib <libfile>.lib <libfile>.dll
