I'm trying to compile DSSS from the current svn trunk. My info is from http://www.dsource.org/projects/dsss The build gets stuck, spewing many errors. Note that I'm trying to build DSSS itself, not use DSSS to build something else. (I may be back later with those kinds of questions.) I'm using 64-bit Linux (Ubuntu) using dmd
DMD64 D Compiler v2.056

The command to build
make -f Makefile.dmd.posix

The part of the build output around where the errors start is this:

g++ -g nchoosedc.o nwhereami.o -o choosedc
./choosedc
Ignore any error from GDC or DMD in the following lines.

After all the "cannot implicitly convert" errors there are several like this:
