digitalmars.D.learn - Calling c shared library

Forgive my programming 101 question :)

I want to call a method from a precompiled shared library:
// c header
void f(void);

// my d file
extern(C) void f();
void main() {}

$ dmd mydfile.d
libphobos2.a(deh2_33a_525.o): In function  
`_D2rt4deh213__eh_finddataFPvZPS2rt4deh213DHandlerTable':
src/rt/deh2.d:(.text._D2rt4deh213__eh_finddataFPvZPS2rt4deh21
DHandlerTable+0x4):  
undefined reference to `_deh_beg'
src/rt/deh2.d:(.text._D2rt4deh213__eh_finddataFPvZPS2rt4deh21
DHandlerTable+0xc):  
undefined reference to `_deh_beg'
src/rt/deh2.d:(.text._D2rt4deh213__eh_finddataFPvZPS2rt4deh213
HandlerTable+0x13):  
undefined reference to `_deh_end'
src/rt/deh2.d:(.text._D2rt4deh213__eh_finddataFPvZPS2rt4deh213
HandlerTable+0x37):  
undefined reference to `_deh_end'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
--- errorlevel 1

Is there a way to do the above, or do I have to manually load the shared  
library and use alias'es for the functions?

Stupidity has a new name, and it's simendsjo!

I actually had extern(C): at the top of my file, but extern(C) void main()  
was nowhere to be found :)
