I'm trying to create a library and link it into my program. I used gcc to
compile a number of c files into object files, and created a .a library file
using ar. I then used gcc to create an .so library from these object files. 
Can someone give me the command line arguments needed to link either of these
libraries with a d program? Can someone tell me what commands are needed to use
the definitions provided by these libraries in a d program.

Just add the .a to the command line of the gdc/dmd or the linker.

To use the funtions from within D, you need the declaration with extern(C).

int func( char* str );

becomes

extern(C) int func( char* str );
