Created attachment 476 Patch against DMD 1.x branch r215 String literals are supposed to be const char* instead of mutable char*, but DMD uses char* in a few places. Attached is a patch that stores the string literals using the right type. As a side effect, it avoids some compiler warnings (at least with GCC).

I forgot to mention that you can apply the patch with: patch -p2 < 0002-Store-string-literals-in-const-char-variables.patch in the src directory

I think this is extremely outdated and eventually was (at least partially) addressed, so better to let it die.
