I tried just adding import paths to project and to di files and

_D8platform5win324main9myWinMainFPvPvPaiZi (int
platform.win32.main.myWinMain(void*, void*, char*, int))
where game_input is a struct in interface file. I also tried
adding the di file to the exeproject but it still doesn't work.
It seems VisualD doesn't add di files to compiler invocation
arguments like it does with *.d and *.def files.
.di files don't need to be passed to the compiler. They are
neither compiled nor linked. The whole point of them is that they
only provide the declarations, not the implementations. You still
need to link to a compiled implementation, either in the form of
an object or library file.
I've never used Visual D (or DMD for that matter) to create a
DLL, but I assume an import library should have been produced
along with the DLL. Are you linking to it in your executable
project?
