I have a X68Sound.dll (not mine) that I'd like to use in my project, but I can't
get it to link, and being a beginner D programmer doesn't help me much. I know
I've used implib as "implib /system x68sound.lib x68sound.def" to create a
library and tried to link it as it follows. The .lib, .def, and .dll and all in
the same directory as the rest of the code.

This is DDA.d
******************
module dda;

import std.stdio;
import X68Sound;

int main()
{
int ret;

ret = X68Sound_Start();
X68Sound_Free();

return 0;
}
******************

And this one is x68sound.d
******************
module X68Sound;

export int X68Sound_Start(int samprate=44100, int opmflag=1, int adpcmflag=1,
int betw=5, int pcmbuf=5, int late=200, double rev=1.0);
export void X68Sound_Free();
******************

And this guys is X68Sound.def

Those funny-looking name manglings are D name mangling.  This is because the 
default extern type for functions is extern(D), so DMD mangles those 
exported functions with D mangling.  Try surrounding the contents of the 
X86Sound.d module with an extern(C) block.

Though I'm not entirely sure that will work, as DMD likes to prefix an 
underscore when mangling names to C, and it doesn't look like there are any 
underscores in the def.  Go ahead and try it anyway.  It doesn't look like 
you're using the def file on the commandline, so OPTLINK might like the C 
names in the lib.
