CFTE+DevIL=?
Hi! I need to load some textures for my game,but I woud like to do it in compile time. I know that CTFE imposes restrictions on functions.So can I execute some DevIL(Derelict3) functions?

It means that external code coming from C or D external library can't be evaluated.

What you can do is importing the textures into the executable, at compile time, if that helps: http://dlang.org/expression.html#ImportExpression -- /Jacob Carlborg

Then at runtime, you can use DevIL to load the image data from the byte array. I've got a blog post[1] about doing this very thing (with SDL rather than DevIL, but it's all the same).
