I compiled and used gtkd 3.3.0 with gdc version 5.3.1 on xubuntu 16.04 without any problems that i was aware of.

On a different machine, which is running ubuntu mate 16.04 with gdc version 5.4, it no longer compiles.

As far as i can tell its a bug in gdc, unfortunately i don't have any
advice.

Thanks Mike!

That's very helpful because i (or anybody in a similar situation) can plan.

E.g., i can maybe use an older compiler until the bug is fixed.

Anyhow, the gdc 5.4 compiler was useful because it pointed out several places where i my code was kind of crummy but 5.3.1 did not object (e.g., string args[] versus string [] args, the package of stdlib, that kind of thing), but i guess not quite ready.

Thanks again, and thanks for your work on this really awesome gtkd library!
