Im using the GL bindings from

experienced this? There doesnt seem to be any documentation that I can see.

I'm guessing it's something to do with the bindings using std.loader to
get the addresses of the functions used, and making function pointers to
call them. I haven't tried using OpenGL with D before, but I was
planning on doing it soon, so I'm probably going to follow in your
steps. :)
Btw, what platform are you on?

The OpenGL bindings in the Bindings project do not load through 
std.loader. It's a binding that requires statically linking with the 
import library. Derelict is the project that loads dynamically, but 
through a custom loading mechanism rather than std.loader.

The Bindings project is a loose collection of bindings contributed by 
several different people. Sort of a fire and forget thing. That's most 
likely why there's not any documentation. If you are on Windows, make 
sure you use the lib and def files provided by the bindings projects (in 
the lib and def subdirectories, respectively).

No, those bindings do use std.loader.  They are very similar in concept 
to the ones in Derelict, with the main difference being support for 
extensions.  Hopefully they can be merged later, but that's not up to 
Mike Parker.

If you can give more information about what's going wrong, we can try to 
help.

I see. You must be talking about the zip download on the project 
homepage. That's a bit confusing, as John Reimer committed OpenGL and 
GLU bindings to the Bindings project trunk some time ago and that's the 
first place I looked. That definitely doesn't use std.loader.

BTW, I'll definitely be looking at getting those extensions into 
Derelict. I haven't looked yet at how you've structured it. Derelict 
originally included automatic extension loading, but I wasn't quite 
happy with my initial implementation and pulled it in the hopes I'd come 
up with something slick later on.
