`DerelictSDL2.load()` cannot load curl. It is not a generic dll
loader. It only loads SDL and doesn't know anything about curl
or any other library.
In order to dynamically load curl like this, you need a binding
that supports it, i.e., a binding that declares the curl API as
function pointers and knows how to load them from the DLL.
Also, DerelictSDL2 is no longer maintained. Please use
bindbc-sdl for new projects:
http://bindbc-sdl.dub.pm/
Thanks again for all the responses. For now -- I am simply adding
the DLL to the EXE and writing it out to the working directory.
Not elegant - but it does work.
```
import std.stdio;
import std.file;
ubyte[] curlBytes = cast(ubyte[]) import("libcurl.dll");
void main(string[] args)
{
std.file.write("libcurl.dll", curlBytes);
// test curl
import std.net.curl;
auto content = get("https://httpbin.org/get;);
writeln(content);
writeln("..DONE");
}
```

Did you try the import solution?
I think so ... below is my test program.
It executes OK - but it is not using the imported libcurl dll.
Many Thanks.

Reminder of my requirements: - I am using d2sqlite3 and std.net.curl in a Windows 64 D program - Want to create a single exe file that I can distribute to other people without the need to distribute the related DLL's Progress to date: sqlite3: - I found a static compiled version of sqlite3.lib. So I am now able to link sqlite3 into my exe. curl: - No luck with curl yet. - As per comment from @pilger -- I got the sample DerelictSDL2 program working after adding "derelict-sdl2": "~>3.0.0-beta" to dub.json and "import derelict.sdl2.sdl;" to app.d - I see the exe is bigger, so I assume it it added to the relevant curl DLL -- but the separate Windows DLL file is still required to execute the exe. So it is not finding the imported DLL file! Is it possible to distribute an .exe file without the required libcurl DLL? Many Thanks
How to deploy single exe application (?)
Using D -- I have created a simple command line utility that download some info via a https API and save it in a sqlite3 database file. To use the exe on another windows machine, I need to copy over the relevant sqlite3 and curl DLL files. Question: Is there a way to create a single .exe with the relevant windows DLL info in there? Can this be done with static linking? Any feedback / pointers on where to start would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks, Willem

Willem A friend of mine was with this issue. We just end up using ldc2 but would be nice to know the actual fix for dub with dmd I suspect my initial issue was related to the Visual Studio 2019 installation. I didn't install the "Desktop development with C++" components the first time round. See 1m35sec in video link provided.

Error: Could not open 'libcmt.lib'
Just starting out new with D. Up until now I have been using Python and a bit of OCaml. Error when linking: "lld-link: error: could not open 'libcmt.lib': no such file or directory" What I did: I installed the complete D setup in my Windows 10 PC -- including VS 2019. From the command line "C:\D\dmd2vars64.bat" I was able to creating a simple program with "dub init hello" When executing it with "dub run hello" I get following error: "lld-link: error: could not open 'libcmt.lib': no such file or directory" However -- running "dub run --arch=x86" did work dmd --version DMD64 D Compiler v2.098.0-dirty dub --version DUB version 1.27.0, built on Oct 10 2021 Searching the forum it appear to be related to MS runtimes... but I have not yet been able to resolve it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks.
