Any recent success with SWIG?

[Ryan via Digitalmars-d-learn]

I would like to use a library with a c interface from D (gdal 
actually), but I can't find any bindings. I've looked at htod, 
but I also see that gdal has project maintained SWIG interfaces 
and SWIG claims to work with D (both D1 and D2).

So I installed the latest SWIG, but I haven't been able to get 
the SWIG provided D examples to work. Everything compiles, but 
when I run an example I get an Access Violation, it looks like it 
is trying to use a null pointer somewhere.

Has anyone had success with this? Or maybe has SWIG support for D 
fallen behind?

I'm using windows 10 with MSYS2 as my shell environment to 
support the Autotools build files that came with SWIG, which is 
what they recommend on the website for building the examples.

Thanks,
