You can create the bindings yourself in your D source files, and if you only want to call a couple of functions from a particular C library, that's the most convenient. http://dlang.org/spec/interfaceToC.html The wording of the question implies that one of these tools is required to call into C libraries, which is not correct. https://wiki.dlang.org/D_binding_for_C is also helpful they should be put together.

Thanks, I'll check it out. This was always a barrier for me to take the effort of learning D
