You'll probably want to use dub instead of calling dmd directly. I've never used gtkd, but if I were starting I'd go here:

The intro tutorials are at the bottom of the page.

Also, this sort of question is better suited to the Learn forum:

You can use pkg-config to get the compiler flags needed:

```
dmd HelloWorld.d `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtkd-3`
```

Indeed. I figured that out. Note the minus sign between gtkd and 3 which is essential.
Currently trying to install gtkd on Freebsd. Compilation worked fine.
