The D group is now obsolete.  You should ask your question in 
digitalmars.D.learn.

In general, C++ is not usable from D (or anything else, that is the 
problem).  You can define C functions (extern "C") for some functionality, 
and D can link to C.

Hope that helps,
Ned

BTW: OpenCV is a C library.

It's a simple case of converting the C headers to D modules, then 
linking in the library with the -l switch. You should also take a look 
at http://www.dsource.org/projects/bcd which can automate the process 
for you.
