I am using the derelict-sfml2 package in my code. My code:

import std.stdio;
import derelict.sfml2.window;

void main()

	DerelictSFML2Window.load();
	sfVideoMode videoMode = sfVideoMode(1280, 720);
	sfWindow* window = sfWindow_create(videoMode, "Animation", 
sfNone, null);
}

For some reason this always crashes inside a "void load( string 
libNames )" function. The crash seems to happen inside the 
'DerelictSFML2Window.load();'.

Why is that? I am using Visual Studio 2013, with the VisualD 
add-on. I have created the solution using "dub generate visuald"; 
this is my project.json:


{
	"name": "testing",
	"description": "testing",
	"authors": ["Jeroen Bollen"],
	"dependencies": {
		"derelict-sfml2" : "~master",
	}
}

Hello. I've used your package.json and source code in an attempt
to replicate the problem, but could not. In this case, I'll still
offer some "brute force" advice:

1. Ensure that CSFML >=2.0 dynamic libraries are in your PATH.
Version 2.1 is working for me.

2. Make sure that the CSFML dynamic libraries are for the right
architecture. I'm using the 32-bit Visual C++/GCC binaries
(http://www.sfml-dev.org/download/csfml/CSFML-2.1-windows-32bits.zip).

3. Remove %APPDATA%\dub to get rid of possibly old packages and
make sure your Dub is the latest version.

4. Try running it via dub rather than VisualD. i.e., "dub run" or
"dub run --compiler=ldc2", etc.

Is it crashing or are you getting an exception? If the CSFML DLLs 
are not on your system path, then you'll get exceptions when 
trying to load them. Make sure the DLLs are in the app's working 
directory when you run it.

Also, for Derelict-specific issues, it's probably better to post 
to the Derelict forums[1] rather than here.
