LuaD + VisualD link issue

[Johnathan Sunders via Digitalmars-d-learn]

I'm having an issue with building programs that link with LuaD 
using VisualD. If I use Dub, it builds without an issue, but 
generating a project file and compiling it through VisualD 
results in "Error 162: Bad Type Index reference to type 84A9" 
when linking luad.lib(base).

Anyone has any ideas on what may cause this? I've also tried 
building using the VisualD project on LuaD's GitHub in case it 
was a missing configuration setting but that has the same issue 
(running Windows 8 64 bit in case it's relevant).
