Error: this for init needs to be type NSObject not type dwt.graphics.GC.GC

It's quite annoying that I don't get any file or line information.

The other files are available here: 
http://www.dsource.org/projects/dwt-mac/browser/dwt
but they are old.

I'm compiling on osx 10.5.5 with gdc-r229 like this:

gdmd -c -odobjs -I/usr/share/gdc/include/d/4.1.2/tango -version=Posix 
dwt/graphics/GC.d

Reply to Jacob,

 I'm trying to compile this file: http://tango.pastebin.com/m3c708004
 and I'm getting this error:
 
 Error: this for init needs to be type NSObject not type
 dwt.graphics.GC.GC
 

I'm not going to read that source (I don't use Tango for one) but 

in the class dwt.graphics.GC.GC look for a call to NSObject.init (named just 
like that)

If you find one, then the error is likely that NSObject.init is supposed 
to be static and is not. If you mark it as static and don't get any errors 
in it, you're good.
