Or you might need to "import" a module.

Come on, give us some hints, toss us some code, splash an error message 
at us, throw us a bone...

These are all functions from the Win32 C-API. To use them you must import
a module that declares these functions and link for Windows.

The FAQ may help:

  <http://www.wikiservice.at/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?FaqRoadmap#HowtocallaWindowsAPIfunction>

AFAIK there is currently no module in the Phobos standard library that 
defines them all. std.c.windows.windows.d contains some of them.

Pavel had a much more complete windows.d module that I used a while
ago. 

I do not know the current state of affairs.

I tried adding the following, based on Helmut Leitner's link. I got lots of
errors, so I'm assuming I did something wrong.

extern (Windows) BOOL LineTo(
HDC hdc,    // device context handle
int nXEnd,  // x-coordinate of ending point
int nYEnd   // y-coordinate of ending point
);

extern (Windows) BOOL MoveToEx(

int X,            // x-coordinate of new current position
int Y,            // y-coordinate of new current position
LPPOINT lpPoint   // old current position
);

The FAQ he linked to said this: "and add kernel32.lib to your linker command."
Could someone please clarify how to do that? I haven't been able to find
anything through searches.

Your problem is a linking problem. The compiler already compiled your
program into the hello.obj object file and now it tries to link it
together with the API functions you referenced. That means your code
already compiles, what you need to do is to link in the right
libraries.
