Has anyone found a decent way to use C++ libs either in binary form or source form?  I want to use the freetype library, but since its in C++, I don't really want to re-code it from scratch in D

It's in C++?  The interface is in C.  I guess I should have announced it here... but I made freetype bindings for the complete library.  It's available in the bindings project over at dsource.org.  For win32, I include a working dll with the complete library build in. On Linux, so far, it seems to work with the typical libft.so found on the system.

You can find it here:

I should probably provide an archive that can be downloaded from the download directory there.

Excellent, 1 half of the problem solved.  I assumed FreeType was in C++, which it obviously isn't now that I look for more than 30 seconds.

There is a way to use C++ libs I think , ive never done it but I believe if you can wrap the C++ code in C functions , then you can expose those C functions to D and call them like that ( not tested ).

I think the D bindings for wxWidgets ( http://wxd.sourceforge.net/ ) do this
.
