I can not think of any other reason why dmd would otherwise reference a import symbol. Ah, good point. I didn't see the link to the DLL import stuff. I can't / shouldn't remove them because these are coming from It looks like my project is mixing up static and dynamic linked runtime libs. Import symbols are symbols used for dll linking and start with "__imp_" Is this a DMD convention or a general one? Never heard about this. Out of curiosity, why do you pass "-m64" 6 times to dmd? Once would be enough. I don't have a clue where these come from. I just use DUB to compile my D project. For debug builds targeting windows 64 I would also highly recommend using "-gc -op" instead of "-g". This will give a much better debugging experience in Visual Studio. Ok, will see how to get this in. Thanks so far for all the hints. -- Robert M. Münch http://www.saphirion.com smarter | better | faster

This seems to be a general convetion on windows. All c++ compilers I've seen on windows so far emit so called import symbols using the "__imp_" prefix. Basically its just another level of indirection during a function call to be able to resolve function addresses at runtime, e.g. implement dynamic linking. Its kind of a implementation detail, so in theory you don't have to know about it. But it helps when reading linker errors. In case my talk gets accepted for dconf 2016 I'm going to cover this there in more detail. -- Kind Regards Benjamin Thaut
