Ok, yea, it was a C long issue with the bindings, although I ended up not needing a C bridge. Apparently, C's "int" and "long" are both 32-bit on a 32-bit system (Also apparent: it's been a very long time since I used C/C++...) Screwy C... Once I changed the "ulong" param in the D binding for mysql_real_connect to "uint", the instructions at ( http://www.wikiservice.at/d/wiki.cgi?DatabaseBindings#MySQL ) suddenly worked like a charm. I'm now connected to my MySQL DB from D. Whoohoo! I still have no idea why it seemed to work fine on Linux without that change, but at the moment I don't particularly give a crap...
