Hi,

I am trying to make simple x64 C++ application that uses D static 
library (trying to do "Interfacing with C++" from "D Cookbook" 
chapter). I am Using Visual Studio 2012 to create main() like 
this:

#include <iostream>

extern "C" int rt_init();
extern "C" void rt_term();
// RAII struct for D runtime initialization and termination
struct DRuntime {
   DRuntime() {
     if(!rt_init()) {
       // you could also use an exception
       fprintf(stderr, "D Initialization failed");
       exit(1);
     }
   }
   ~DRuntime() {
     rt_term();
   }
};

int main()
{
   DRuntime druntime;
}

and then I am just setting linker to link to phobos64.lib but I 
am getting those:

1>phobos64.lib(dmain2_4ec_2f9.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved

What am I doing wrong? Book says that on x64 Windows VC++ can be 
used to create hybrid application.

 create hybrid application.

My gut feeling looking at that, is that its not linking against the c 
runtime.

For reference I'm pretty sure _deh_beg is related to exception handling.

Hey, for some reason I missed this:

http://forum.dlang.org/thread/ji93fh$15ph$1 digitalmars.com

The fix is to add main() function to D library. Don't know why it 
is needed for static lib but it sure helps to resolve link issues.
