If you are using the shared library instead of the static library, you

Judging from what's written on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Shared_library it should actually be a static library as it's a .lib
file. Maybe the reason for the problem is that I compiled the library in
Release mode while I built the D project in Debug mode? Anyway, I'll
also try using the loadSDL function, thank you for the advice.
Shared libraries on Windows (DLL)'s, produce when linked an import
library that happens to be a static library.
You link to the import library when you want to link against the shared
library during compilation. It provides the information to the linker
that it needs for this process.
The bindbc family of packages, usually can link against a shared library
both during compilation (statically), or during runtime (dynamically).
The import library serves no purpose if you are linking dynamically.
