digitalmars.D - Carbon for D

I'm rather inexperienced in making interfaces for D. I'm trying to 
make a carbon interface for D. I tried SWIG with D but I get tons of
errors in the interface file i made via: 

gcc Carbon_stub.h -E -framework ..../Carbon.framework. //Which 
basically leaves me with one header file for all of Carbon.I added a
%module Carbon and tried to get it to generate me an interface. 

Am I even going about this in a sane manor? Has anyone already done 
this? I tried to do this by hand before but there's nearly 900,000 lines
of code in this file. 

(sorry for the formatting my newsreader is having personal problems.)

As far as I know, the official version of SWIG doesn't support D. Are you using John Fletcher's new SWIG work? http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?DwithSwig Or perhaps the earlier project by Andy Friesen? http://andy.tadan.us/d/ I don't know if Andy plans on updating/improving his stuff any, but I know that John Fletcher was working with SWIG only a few weeks ago.

Sounds like some automation would come in handy!

I was using Andy's I don't see where to download John's modified version. =/ Although i did see the entry in the wiki.

Yes it would. :) Want to 'automate' it for me? :P
