Do I need to compile from source just Clang or both?
Usually Clang is built with LLVM, i.e running make inside the
LLVM build directory will build both LLVM and Clang.

Could you explain can I call function from C++ dll directly? I

need only basic C++ support -- just ability to call very basic
functions.
Am I right understand that with Calypso I do not need to create
bindings?
If it's correct - could you provide any example of calling C++
function from dll?
On Windows the Clang executable has to be in one of the %PATH%
folders and then in your D code:
modmap (C++) "headerofyourdll.h"; // will make Clang generate a
precompiled header
import (C++) Namespace1.Namespace2._; // If your functions are
global functions inside Namespace1.Namespace2, _ is a special
module (for now) that contains all the global funcs, vars and
typedefs
import (C++) Namespace1.Struct1; // If they are inside a struct
named Struct1
The imports expose symbols that you can use like you'd use D
structs and functions.
Finally you need to tell LDC to link to your library:
ldc -L="yourDLL.lib" (...)
