When I compile(any version before DMD 1.018) I typically add 
opengl32.lib to the end of the link command.  This works fine, but in 
versions later than 1.018 it cannot find the library to link.

What changed or what am I missing?

opengl32.lib doesn't come with dmd, so you need to get it from somewhere 
else.  Can't remember where I got mine from.

You can also create it with implib, like this:

implib /s opengl32.lib opengl32.dll

implib is in the 'basic utilities package', search for it on 
digitalmars.com.

It might help us if we knew ...

The location of the DMD compiler.
The contents and location of the sci.ini file.
The location of the opengl32.lib file.
The command line you used to compile with.
The %PATH% value.

Also, if you change nothing else but the compiler being invoked, does it
still work if you use a pre 1.018 compiler?

I fixed this by changing sc.ini to explicitly point to the z:\dm\lib 
and z:\dmd\lib locations .

My point is this worked pre 1.018 and is broken in all versions 
thereafter.  I was just wondering what was changed, as something like 
this should work 'right out of the box'.

I have been using DMD/DMC quite a while and this has always just worked.
