I have experienced a runtime disaster after executing exe which 
successfully linked with C++ library, probably produced with MS 
toolchain, with another one, produced with mingw32 GCC on Windows. Same 
language, incompatible compilers, incompatible code...
Fixed it by rebuild all required libraries with Microsoft tools.

Another issue came - runtime crash when MS DLL called routine inside the 
  EXE produced with the DMD. Currently I don't know how to fix it, I 
disabled callbacks as a temporary measure.
For this reason the GC managed code doesn't free resources, because even 
if the wxWidgets releases it's allocated object, the reference of the 
managed wrapper persists, which is stored in the hash table, so the hash 
  table becomes bigger and bigger...
