>So I read the responses to this post along with the ImportC documentation and was excited to try this out. I first copied hello.c from the docs and attempted to compile it with dmd. The result:
dmd hello.c
hello.c(1): Error: C preprocessor directive `#include` is not supported
hello.c(1): Error: no type for declarator before `#`
hello.c(5): Error: no type for declarator before `return`
hello.c(6): Error: no type for declarator before `}`
Hmm... that didn't work. No idea how to fix that either. Let me try the next example. Output:
dmd demo.d square.c
demo.d(6): Error: function expected before `()`, not `module square` of type `void`
That didn't work either. But if I replace the call to square() on line 6 with square.square(), it works fine.
Now, let's try an actual library. First clone xlsxio from github and run cd xlsxio; make install. Next create demo.d:
import xlsxio_read;
void main()
{
}
and compile it (I copied the header file into the root project directory):
dmd demo.d xlsxio_read.h libxlsxio_read.a
Error: unrecognized file extension h
Hmmm... What am I missing?
Thanks,
