Not, very pretty. Do I have something not setup right? Im using

Any Ideas?


So, I figured it out! I used the wrong example for mydll.def.

-
LIBRARY MYDLL
DESCRIPTION 'My DLL written in D'

EXETYPE NT
CODEPRELOAD DISCARDABLE
DATAWRITE

EXPORTS
DllGetClassObject   @2
DllCanUnloadNow @3
DllRegisterServer   @4
DllUnregisterServer @5
--
The above will cause errors: even though it makes you think that 
it should be mydll.def it is not.


--
LIBRARY mydll.dll
EXETYPE NT
SUBSYSTEM WINDOWS
CODE SHARED EXECUTE
DATA WRITE
--
The above is the correct .def contents

Thanks all!

If you don't use the extern(C) foreign function interface then 
the name won't match to the export name as written in the source 
(in the binary you'll get the bytecount of all the param size 
with a @ before).
si you need to create a name table for optlink
