Try to convert C header into D file by dpp tool.

When I try dpp in this tutorial:

 Windows

    Install http://releases.llvm.org/6.0.1/LLVM-6.0.1-win64.exe into C:\Program Files\LLVM\, making sure to tick the "Add LLVM to the system PATH for all users" option.
    Make sure you have LDC installed somewhere.
    Compile with dub build --compiler=C:\path\to\bin\ldc2.exe.
    Copy C:\Program Files\LLVM\bin\libclang.dll next to the d++.exe in the bin directory.

When I try this command:
Compile with dub build --compiler=C:\path\to\bin\ldc2.exe

I get this error:

Neither a package description file, nor source/app.d was found in
D:\Downloads
Please run DUB from the root directory of an existing package, or run
"dub init --help" to get information on creating a new package.

No valid root package found - aborting.

If you have DUB and compiler installed try to run:

dub fetch dpp
dub build dpp
dub run dpp -- --help

It works on Linux for me

Good, but don't work converted file windowsx.h to windowsx.d.

windowsx.h is mostly a bunch of macros that forward to functions elsewhere in the SDK. Yes, it's handy, but you can get by without it in case you don't manage to get it translated to D. Open windowsx.h in your editor, find the macro you want to use, look across to the right to see what the macro expands to, and use that in your code instead.

A lot of the macros that simply cast between HBITMAP, HPALETTE, HFONT, HPEN, HGDIOBJ etc are redundant because in D they're all just aliases for void*.

You don't want to just include it?

Dpp is not able to translate macros (maybe in the future). Macros needs to be translated manually.

Kind regards

Maybe it is already available on code.dlang.org?
