I have a framework/game engine or what to call it, 3D Game Studio, that 
I would like to use with D.

It comes with four header files and a lib file (in visual studio format) 
to link in a dll file. I've ported the header files and a "Hello world" 
example do D. All compile but I get linker errors on the functions I try 
to use from the game engine.

I have a converted the lib file with coff2omf and also tried to create 
my own lib file with implib. I've tried to compile both with dsss and 
dmd, I've tried both to have a pragma(lib, "acknex.lib"); in the main 
file and added the lib file to the command line. I don't what more I can 
do to solve the linker errors. BTW it's works great with C++ and visual 
studio, maybe I should try with C++ and dmc also to see if that works.

for dwt i used coffimplib from the dmc package
then you can use libunres to check the contained symbols. They should 
have the format
_indentifier 4

Thanks Frank, coffimplib solved it.

What linker errors are you getting?  It's hard to diagnose a problem if we 
don't know what it is.
