I've been trying for weeks to build the D bindings of SFML2, but with little success. The main issue is that I get a myriad of linker errors (documented at http://www.sfml-dev.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=28345#28345), but I can't figure out what linking options would solve them.

Can anybody shed some light on this?

Just glancing at it, it looks like you might be missing pthreads, though that would be pretty weird. You don't normally need to specify -lpthread. But those symbols sure look like they're likely pthread-related.

I've tried -lpthread and -lm, and neither seemed to help. Is it possible there are platform issues, since D (to my knowledge) is 32- bit, and I'm 64-bit?

Well, as of dmd 2.052, if you pass -m64 to dmd, it'll compile in 64-bit on Linux, but if you don't pass it -m64 (or if you explicitly pass it -m32), it will compile in 32-bit. And if it's compiling in 32-bit, then you need the 32- bit versions of whatever libraries that you're using. pthread is one of them. So, if you don't have a 32-bit version of pthread installed, then that would explain it.

Perfect, thanks!
