Using bindbc-sdl with D

[Claus D. Volko]

Hi there,

I cloned https://git.sleeping.town/BindBC/bindbc-sdl.git to get 
the latest SDL bindings for D. In addition I cloned bindbc-loader 
and bindbc-common and copied the files into the appropriate 
directories. Then I cloned SDL and SDL_net and built everything 
in Release mode using Visual Studio 2022. So basically now my 
project contains the following files:

C:\Users\Acer\source\repos\adokhugi\game-d

26.03.2025  18:30    <DIR>          .
26.03.2025  17:47    <DIR>          ..
26.03.2025  18:25    <DIR>          source
26.03.2025  17:50               138 .gitignore
26.03.2025  18:27             5,214 app.obj
26.03.2025  18:25                46 build.bat
26.03.2025  18:27               288 dub.sdl
26.03.2025  18:20         2,515,968 SDL3.dll
26.03.2025  18:20           272,158 SDL3.lib
26.03.2025  18:21           128,000 SDL3_net.dll
26.03.2025  18:21             9,676 SDL3_net.lib

The contents of dub.sdl:

name "game-d"
description "A game coded in D using SDL"
authors "Claus D. Volko"
copyright "Copyright © 2025, Claus D. Volko"
license "proprietary"
dependency "bindbc-sdl" version="~>2.1.0"
versions "SDL_3_4" "SDL_Net_3_0"
libs "SDL3" "SDL3_net"
subConfiguration "bindbc-sdl" "staticBC"

The preliminary contents of source\app.d:

import bindbc.sdl;

void main(){
	SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
	
	//etc.
	
	SDL_Quit();
}

So when I try to build this, I get:

C:\Users\Acer\source\repos\adokhugi\game-d>dmd source\app.d -L 
SDL3.lib -L SDL3_net.lib

Could anybody please tell me what I have to do in order to get 
this to work?

Thank you very much in advance!
