Thanks again for your help. I've worked through some simple examples and started trying to write a binding to a C library.
I think I've got the .h file converted properly (the D file compiles), but I was getting a linking error. The enums were showing up, but not the functions. I tried creating a simple project that mimics what was happening in the C library and found no issues.
I think I narrowed it down to what is causing the linking error. I had not compiled the C dll myself. Looking in to the issue, I noticed it was compiled with MinGW. There were instructions for using it with Visual Studio (to make the .def and .dll files into a .lib) though and I assumed following those was sufficient. However, based on what you've said, I suspect that if I re-compile the dll using Visual Studio, then it will work with D.
I don't think I would have figured that out without your comments above.
