D's build model is similar to C: The compiler only compiles the files 
you give it. You didn't give it the mysql-native source files, so it 
didn't compile them. Hence, linker errors for all the missing symbols.

The main point of RDMD is to find all the files used by your program and 
automatically pass them all to the compiler. Usually you'll just want to 
use RDMD instead of calling DMD directly. If you don't want RDMD to 
automatically run your program after compiling it, use --build-only.

Or use DUB to build it and run it like simendsjo said. It grabs up all 
your files and passes them all to DMD much like RDMD does.
