Maybe I'm a bit confused, but that's quite different to a C compiler, 
right? If I include header and have a .lib things fit.

With D I have a .lib, I have the imports and still need the imports 
somehow compiled (included in project, or as a 2nd .lib) to make 
everything work. Do I understand that correct?

That would be the 2nd .lib approach than.

But I didn't include the library as a dub dependency. I just have the 
C/C++ compiled lib file and the D imports path for this lib.
