I would like to use ImportC to automatically import a C header into my D project. I've been using Dstep so far which works ok, but requires some manual fixes to get the resulting D file to compare and it doesn't let me to just drop the C header file.
I created a fresh dub project to try. I try to import this header https://github.com/webgpu-native/webgpu-headers/blob/main/webgpu.h . I put webgpu.h file next to app.d.
My code is:
import std.stdio;
import webgpu;
void main()
{
}
it builds.
Then I tried to output one of the enums to see if it works:
import std.stdio;
import webgpu;
void main()
{
writeln(WGPUBlendFactor_Dst);
}
and it says:
Starting Performing "debug" build using C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin64\dmd.exe for x86_64.

source\app.d(6,10): Error: undefined identifier `WGPUBlendFactor_Dst`
Error C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin64\dmd.exe failed with exit code 1.
I tried to do the other commandline but I get this error instead:
