You aren't mixing in the deprecated symbols. From the
documentation [1]:
"glFreeFuncs takes an optional paramter that will include
deprecated types and function pointer declarations. This is false
by default, but can be enabled with, e.g., mixin
glFreeFuncs(GLVersion.gl33, true);."
So step-by-step:
1. Set version=DerelictGL3_CustomFreeFuncs on the command line
(via dub's "versions" directive).
2. Create a module specifically for importing DerelictGL, e.g.
mygl.d, and add this:
module mygl;
public import derelict.opengl;
mixin glFreeFuncs!(GLVersion.gl33, true);
3. In any module where you need opengl, import mygl instead of
derelict.opengl.
With this, Derelict will attempt to load all OpenGL functions,
including the deprecated ones, up to 3.3. You'll just need to
make sure you have the proper context created to support them.
FYI, I'm working on a new bindings package that's @nogc and
-betterC comaptible (Derelict being neither). I've taken a
completely different approach there, making everything
configurable via commandline versions. For anyone interested in
seeing what it looks like, I set up a github group a while back
and have the loader package and the SDL bindings up now (though
not yet in the dub repository). I've got most of OpenGL and GLFW
done and will upload them in the not-too-distant future, to be
followed by ports of other commonly-used Derelict packages. I'll
push everything to the dub repo when I'm ready to formally make
the announcement. It's best to consider the Derelict packages in
maintenance mode, though I plan to keep supporting them for a
long while to come.
