I actually got it to work by enforcing 64bit. DMD uses the VC Linker in 64bit mode I guess.

However I (of course) ran into new errors. Gl functions like glGetString and glGetIntegerv cause the program to crash. It appears that an opengl context is being created so I'm not sure whats causing the problem

For anyone else with this issue I finally figured it out. You have to call gladLoadGL AFTER you set the glContext and before you call any gl code.
