digitalmars.D.learn - Building Derelict based application under windows

Hello! First of all I don't know what my problem is but please 
don't close the thread and give me a chance.

I have been working on DMD under Linux since I met D. Short time 
ago I got a reason to make an application for Windows. I took 
DerelictAL[1], DerelictOgg[2] and DerelictVorbis[3] implementing 
basic prototype under Linux. So everything ok under Linux. 
Unfortunately I get a couple of issue under Windows 7. The 
Windows is launched under VirtualBox.

The first one is target architecture the application is compiled 
for. I installed DMD 2.079 and Visual Studio 2015.2 so I 
corrected sc.ini consider the article[4] from the wiki. The file 
has the content that is available by the link [5]. But I'm not 
sure that dmd compiles code for 64 bit architecture because an 
address of any pointer consists of 6 symbols instead of 16. A 
pointer in C++ application consists of 16 symbols. There is D 
code [6].

The second one is warnings and errors during compilation of my 
application. Typical messages shows up inability of linker to 
recognize any direlict library so there are a couple of errors 
about unresolved symbols of direlict libraries. Full list of 
errors and warnings is available by the link [7].

Please help me to figure out how I can fix the issue. I don't 
want use another language to create the application.

My environment
Windows 7 64bit (under VirtualBox)
DMD 2.079
Visual Studio 2015.2

Your errors with the derelict libs are linker errors, with the 
early ones being this one:

"warning LNK4003: invalid library format; library ignored"

At the top of the output, DUB is warning you that you've put -m64 
in the package file and shouldn't do that. I would guess that's 
your problem. The libraries are being compiled as 32-bit OMF, 
which is default on the prepackaged DMD binaries on Windows, but 
the -m64 in your dflags is causing your app to compile as 64-bit. 
Try taking -m64 out of your package file and put -ax86_64 on your 
DUB command line instead.

Thanks a lot. I tried it later but forgot to write about it to 
the forum. I fixed it adding --arch=x86_64 so a command for 
building is `dub build --arch=x86_64`
