I'm using derelict, primary on windows, but I've also a running version on Ubuntu. You can download derelict at http://www.dsource.org/projects/derelict/ changeset/525/branches/Derelict2?old_path=%2F&format=zip I think you've already a running version of the dmd-compiler? If yes, you can simply extract the package, open your shell browse to the extracted folder and run "make -flinux.mak DC=dmd" which worked for me on windows and linux (make sure you've installed make and dmd is in your environment-values). On windows you've to create a folder called "lib" before you run the command above - I currently can't say it exactly if it's needed on linux, too. After it compiled, you can copy all the created lib-files to the lib- folder (I think this should be /usr/lib or something like this - run "find / -name 'phobos.lib'" and copy the lib-files to the same directory where phobos.lib is located. Copy the content of the "import"-dir to a location where you've all your binding for D, so that you can simply use "import derelict.sdl.sdl" or similar. When you've installed it correctly, you can use derelict/opengl like described on the derelict site. Note that you have to use 'pragma (lib, "DerelictSDL")' or similar to use the binding. It is also important the you insert 'pragma(lib, "dl")' in you source that you can compile it successfully. I hope this helped :)
