I am trying to write a graphics engine for my university

both a talking point, and because I love the language. I'm
using dub to build the library, and the demo application
that'll use it.
However, I've come across a problem. In C/C++, when you build a
library, you compile and link the source, then provide the
header files for the library user to include. I have built the
library, but what is the D equivalent to header files, and what
do I have to do to prepare and use my library in another
project?
For using your thing as a library you need to do 2 things:
1: Include the library files by using `importPaths` on dub or -I=
on your favorite compiler
2: Add the linker flag to include the library.
importPaths don't compile your source files. Only templates and
some ctfe features can be used when using importPaths.
