Or can I just use the OSX version and use the generated .d files with the DMD Windows version too? The longer answer is that it depends. DStep behaves the same way as the compiler (Clang in this case). That means that there are different predefined macro constants for different platforms. For example: #if _WIN32 #include DWORD foo(); #else int foo(); #endif If you run DStep on Windows it will output: extern (C): DWORD foo(); But on any other platform it will output: extern (C): int foo(); So it's a question if the header files contain any code like the above. The bindings that DStep uses for libclang are generated on macOS but are used unchanged on Windows and Linux as well. But these are the most forgiven headers that I've seen when it comes to create bindings. -- /Jacob Carlborg

The Windows support was implemented during GSoC 2016. It just has never been a new release since then. I have created a few tags, for various reasons, since then, but no official release. It worked partially, but could not translate C function pointers to D's `function()` syntax, leaving a 'TODO' stub instead. Has that changed? I can't find anything about it in the release notes. Translating function pointers has probably been supported since the first release. There are tests for this. If there's something that is not working, please file a bug at [1]. Ideally with a minimal test case with the C code and the expected D code. [1] https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dstep/issues -- /Jacob Carlborg

I think "DStep" in the first sentence should be a link to the Github page. I didn't see any other links to it until the very bottom of the page.
