I am not familiar with the inner workings  and what the undefined references mean but surely the command line out would tell someone experienced whether it is getting it right?

All the missing symbols are from DWT, since they all start with 
'_D3dwt'.  So you need to build dwt, and then link with it.

Or you can use dsss, which allows you to skip building dwt:

dsss build main.d

If everything is set up correctly, that command will compile the needed 
dwt modules, and link them all into the executable.  That's what I do on 
linux myself currently.
