D - More D gui experiments
I've started porting the X11 headers to D http://www.geocities.com/one_mad_alien/dxwin.html currently only X11/X.h and X11/Xlib.h have been ported (most macros missing) but enough to create a window an get events.

Can I suggest instead looking at swig (www.swig.org) which is essentially a C++ compiler that will read C++ source and generate wrappers for it for other languages? It needs a personality module for D, at which point the nirvana of being able to import C++ libraries into D will become easy.

I'm more interested in abusing the D compiler for my own sadistic pleasure! and by the time someone else has got Swig working with D, I should have at least the basics of a D win32/X Gui (modification of my dfc classes) that can then benifit from the better grade of ported header, and be a test that the Swig method generates correct import modules.I've started porting the X11 headers to D http://www.geocities.com/one_mad_alien/dxwin.html currently only X11/X.h and X11/Xlib.h have been ported (most macros missing) but enough to create a window an get events.You're doing some great work.
