Hey Jacob & Andrea,

I hate to drag this up from so long ago but I am very new to D 
and have used your tool to convert the latest capi.c from the 
tesseract-ocr library 
(https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/blob/master/src/api/capi.h)

And I am wondering how I go about simply importing it and using 
it in my D project.

Here is the converted file, it worked with dstep with no errors:
https://pastebin.com/x1FgWjGj

And I called the output file tesseract_capi.d and put it in the 
source directory of my project and am trying to import it into 
one of my apps files named ocr.d as follows:

module ocr;
import std.stdio;
import tesseract_capi;

class ocr{
     TessBaseAPI *api;
     this(){
         this.api = TessBaseAPICreate();
     }
}

And any attempt to build and run returns an: undefined reference 
to `TessBaseAPICreate'

Should I be linking to the actual library in the dub.json? I 
cannot seem to find any straightforward tutorial about importing 
dstep converted files unfortunately.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
