thanks for the help pointers.
i generated the dfl2 lib anew with the current compiler - works 
fine for x64. the lib was seemingly maintained by a gentleman 
named franklike.
as for main, i used the following code:

import dfl.all;
int main()
{
	Form myForm;
	Label myLabel;
	myForm = new Form;
	myForm.text = "DFL Example";
	myLabel = new Label;
	myLabel.font = new Font("Verdana", 14f);
	myLabel.text = "Hello, DFL World!";
	myLabel.location = Point(15, 15);
	myLabel.autoSize = true;
	myLabel.parent = myForm;
	Application.run(myForm);
	return 0;
}

i set the subsystem to console (or 'Not Set') and try to link 
with the dfl2 lib. that works for console and it runs as expected 
- just with console window in the background.

if i set it to windows subsystem the link fails with:
LIBCMT.lib(exe_winmain.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external 
symbol WinMain referenced in function "int __cdecl 
__scrt_common_main_seh(void)" (?__scrt_common_main_seh@@YAHXZ)
Release\dflTEST.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Building Release\dflTEST.exe failed!

do you have any suggestion what happens? how can i get rid of the 
console window after linking?
