I tried it last night for the first time on linux x86_64 and it 
works. Very nice library and easy to use, good work!. I managed 
to hack out a small space invaders level in only an hour or so. 
As for shared libs, I just installed those from the system 
package manager (SDL, OpenAL etc.) it worked flawlessly :)


I did have one build issues though:
Window/MessageBox.d(148): Error: cannot implicitly convert 
expression (this.box_buttons.length) of type ulong to int.

Simple cast to int fixed the problem and I've added an issue to 
github. I'd offer a pull request but it's such a simple change 
and my github access is very limited at the moment.

Cheers,
