Linking to win32 libs won't help you here. MAKE_HRESULT is a macro on 
the C-side, so no symbol exists for it in any of the win32 libs. On the 
D side, you can find it declared as a function in the bindings in 
winerror.d. In d3d9.d, it is called from the function MAKE_D3DHRESULT. 
So you need to make sure that winerror.d is compiled and linked into 
your executable.
