A .o file? Are you using MinGW to compile your C++? You're not 
going to get very far if you are. You have two options that are 
guaranteed to work.

Use the Digital Mars C++ compiler to compile your C++ file to an 
OMF object then use the default OPTLINK linker when building. 
This only supports 32-bit builds.

dmd foo.d bar.obj

The other option is to use the Microsoft linker, which requires 
the MS build tools be installed, either via the build tools 
distribution or Visual Studio. Then you can compile your C++ file 
to a COFF object with the MS compiler for 32- or 64-bit and build 
your executable with one of the following:

dmd -m32mscoff foo.d bar.obj
dmd -m64 foo.d bar.obj
