I would like to play with some aspects of D, but I cannot without some
pointers.  Is there a place for me to RTFM on linking against any arbitrary
C library?

In particular, I would like to link to the OpenGL libraries for Windows.
I have the header files, the .lib and .dll files that I would need to work
from C++/C#.  All I need is the destructions on how to do it with D.

Didn't you find:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/interface.html
?

check the swig for D for the headers.
I think there are OpenGL headers available for D every where.
I think Mike or Andy have them.
DIG should have them
DUI has them (from Mesa not the latest version)
maybe more...
find those key words on the D links or news pages.

Let us know of the result of your playing.

So I have to write a D wrapper for all the GL functions that
specify extern(C) (in contrast to extern("C"))?...

The DUI project seemed more for GTK integration, which I don't necessarily
want.

If Mike or Andy has them is there a link?

I have looked at a few of the pages, and I didn't see the OpenGL headers links.
Apparently, the .lib files have to be compiled in D for it to work....

I found some old OpenGL 1.1 wrappers for D, the only problem is
the use of the "extended" keyword.  I am not familiar with this,
and I assume it is an old now unused D keyword.  Is that correct?

That's how I do it.

Yep, from DIG or DUI grab the sources and select the OpenGL header

I'm not sure I believe I come across the headers sometime ago...

also try the wiki4d.

Hmm. There is no "extended" keyword in D.

I think it's called 'real' now.
