Thanks, that was it. I had to declare _beginthreadex explicitly since for some reason it wasn't being pulled from process.h, so I just added extern "C" linkage and it works.

So, now finally, after thousands of errors, I got raknet to compile under DMC and have D sucessfully link to it!

For the minimum testing I've done so far, the networking works with the windows machine talking to itself. I'm going to clean things up a bit and do some more testing.

Thanks for your help Walter and John! I couldn't have pulled it off without any help.

I'll have the changes up on the bindings project shortly.

Bravo!  Good work!  I'm glad you persisted.  You were rewarded with success in the end.

Great! Thank-you.
