At least that's progress.
LNK1136 is for a corrupt or abnormally small file. I did notice
that the original dll was 82kb and the lib file was 2kb.
Have you used pragma(lib)? https://dlang.org/spec/pragma.html#lib
There's also a section on it in Learning D.
I don't use Windows much, but when I link to a dll, that's what I
do. I've actually never used -L options on Windows. If I want to
call functions from R.dll, I use implib /system R.lib R.dll to
create R.lib. Then I put pragma(lib, "R.lib"); in my .d file and
compile.
