Yes under win32 you must use Digital Mars C++ compiler, "DMC", 
because it produces OMF objects. That's also the default format 
produced by DMD.

DMC is here: http://www.digitalmars.com/download/freecompiler.html

However note that there's DerelictFT or Deimos freetype if you 
don't want to mess with this problem.
