So based upon this, what would you like to do? Scratch or another
pre-existing protocol like proto-buffers?
It is a mature library, which has been open sourced under the BSD
license when Oculus baught it. Hence why I want to use this instead of
reinventing the wheel.
They really need to update its old website then.
I've had a look at the code, its mostly classes and is very c style.
You won't have trouble making bindings.
The main steps if you want to give it a go are:
1. Compile via MSVC (either 32 or 64bit are fine) can be static of dynamic
2. Compile D with -m32mscoff or -m64 and link against above binary
You will almost definitely want to use 64bit binaries not 32bit if you
use dub.
I know there is a D target for SWIG but I have never really used it. But
I do not believe you need any magical tool to do the binding creation
for you. The headers should convert over nicely as is for you.
