Hi, I was wondering what the correct way to import a DLL is when building with LDC. I tried implib, but I got a "invalid or corrupt file" error when the linker got to the lib file.

For ldc, it'll need ab MSVC import library in order to link correctly. Implib is for making a Digital Mars styled import library.

Also, implib is for 32 bit dll's and I think ldc only targets 64 bit builds on Windows.
