I am working on a Linux Port for Terra, and was hoping to find some D headers for X Windows.

I am planning on using X because I want the most low level / native interface to the OS as possible, since I need allot of speed and nothing more than a basic resizable OpenGL window, mouse, and keyboard.

Any ideas where I could find these kinds of headers?

Thanks,
Trevor Parscal

Have a look at Ben Hinkles MinWin project.  The link should be available on dsource.org in the forum of the same name... I can't remember the link of hand.  He has a minimal X Windows header for D available within the project.  I started adding to them for another project, but didn't get too much further.  His perhaps is enough for your purposes.

Why not use SDL? It's cross plattform, fast and widely used, also in a few commercial game engines. The most prominent is probably the Unreal Engine.

Because I need to use the headers for my D project, which one might use INSTEAD of SDL...

See what I mean... http://www.sequenceartworks.com/labs/terra

Thanks for the suggestion nonetheless, hope that answers the question. :)

There's enough of X11/Xt/Motif in there to get basic graphical apps like
empire running. It should get you started.
