Okay, so I was trying to link to a C lib, and I realised... DMD doesn't
support/produce VS compatible libs.
I should have realised this sooner, noting the cv debuginfo.
So like... WTF?
Welcome to the jungle ^^
Your options are:
1) use dlls + implib, then you can work with MinGW or VisualC
2) use GDC, then you also get 64Bit:

*) torture yourself by trying to link statically with objconv
*) try UniLink
Let's also mention the debug info... Virtually every 3rd party tool
assumes and/or works best with PDB debug info. Being required to run
cv2pdb is
pretty lame.
pdb is undocumented. Even cv2pdb is based more or less on reverse
engineering.
... and now that I think if it... how do ANY programs built with DMD
actually work? .. How does it link to system32.lib, user32.lib, etc?
Those system libs are just import libraries for the respective DLLs, even
in VS.
