How does one convert a Microsoft lib over to one that is usuable with D? I downloaded the Borland tools and played around with lots of stuff from the bin directory, but couldn't get things to play nice as I don't know what the hell I am doing.

Or.. A place to just download a copy of a working bindings of glu32.lib (opengl.lib works fine), but it probably would be a good idea to know how to do this for myself.

D (dmd) will only work with libs compiled with dmc.  gcd with libs compiled with gcc.

glu32.lib for dmd comes with undig from my webpage.

Huh? You mean COFF vs OMF right?

I grabbed that one and the linker didn't like that it either. I don't know why it would work for you, but not for me.

But.. I took the implib.exe that is in the undig distribution and ran it on my glu32.dll to generate a lib. Then I took the glu32.def from undig and added the function I needed to it. Ran it again and it worked.

Just in case anyone else is having the same/similar problem. Here is what I did:

---------------------------- glu32.def begin
LIBRARY glu32

EXPORTS
_gluUnProject@308=gluUnProject
---------------------------- glu32.def end

implib.exe glu32.lib glu32.dll
implib.exe glu32.lib glu32.def
