Hi,

I have a question.  I have just started playing with 'D' under windows.  I am
trying to call the OutputDebugString() function and can't quite figure out how
to make this work.

I keep getting a "Error 42: Symbol Undefined _OUTPUTDEBUGSTRING 4" message from
the linker.

Thanks

Try adding the declaration:

export void OutputDebugStringA(LPCTSTR);

or for wchar:

export void OutputDebugStringW(LPCWSTR);

windows.d is not complete yet.  You could create a file to hold
API declarations specific to your needs and remove them later as they
are added to the D distribution.  You may also find existing files for
download at any of the sites listed on the D Links page.  Try DedicateD 
(http://int19h.tamb.ru/).

Use:

    extern (Windows) void OutputDebugStringA (char*);

And then when calling DMD to compile it, include "kernel32.lib" as an 
option.
