Hello,

I want to start using D for game development instead of C and C++.
This is my code :

**********************************************************************************

import std.stdio;
import glfw3;

void main()
{
   if(!glfwInit())
   {
     writeln("Could not start GLFW3");
   }

   GLFWwindow *window = glfwCreateWindow(640, 480, "Hello 
Triangle", null, null);
   if(!window)
   {
     writeln("Could not open window");
   }
   glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);

   glfwTerminate();
}

**********************************************************************************

My dir looks like this :

glfw3.d ( obtained from 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Deimos/glfw )
glfw3.dll
glfw3.lib
glfw3dll.lib
main.d
opengl32.lib


I'm using the DMD compiler. I run :
dmd -m64 main.d glfw3.d opengl32.lib glfw3.lib


Now I'm getting errors which I do not know how to fix. I'm 
including the same libraries as I do when I write games in C++. (

 Thanks in advance

It's telling me that the libraries are in an invalid format. How 
can I get the correct ones ? I got those from the GLFW website

dmd -m64 main.d glfw3.d opengl32.lib glfw3.lib


You use "opengl32" while compiling with "-m64".

Can you test compiling without "-m64".

Since you're compiling with -m64, make sure you have the 64-bit GLFW 
binaries and not the 32-bit. Also, you won't need your own copy of 
opengl32.lib if you've installed the Windows SDK along with your Visual 
Studio toolchain.

If you were to use the DerelictGLFW3 [1] & DerelictGL3 [2] bindings 
(preferably using DUB [3] to manage your project) then you would not 
have any link-time dependencies. With DUB, you don't even need to 
download the bindings, since it will manage it all for you. All you 
would need is the shared libraries (the DLLs). The Derelict bindings 
load the shared libraries at run time (see the README in the github repo 
for each project for details). You still have to make sure you're using 
the appropriate GLFW DLL (32-bit vs 64-bit).

 My dir looks like this :

 glfw3.d ( obtained from https://github.com/D-Programming-Deimos/glfw )
 glfw3.dll
 glfw3.lib
 glfw3dll.lib
 main.d
 opengl32.lib


 I'm using the DMD compiler. I run :
 dmd -m64 main.d glfw3.d opengl32.lib glfw3.lib


 Now I'm getting errors which I do not know how to fix. I'm including the
 same libraries as I do when I write games in C++. ( glfw3.lib and
 opengl32.lib ).

 Thanks in advance

To explain further about a previous poster, on Windows 32bit dmd uses 
OMF format for binaries not PE-COFF. The binaries you downloaded would 
have been PE-COFF.
For 64bit dmd uses the msvc linker as well as PE-COFF format.

Second, have you looked at dub [0]. Dub is a great little build manager 
that can do dependency management (look at [0] for available packages). 
Take note of the Derelict ones, they use shared libraries so you should 
be able to download those pretty easily and work.
