I also tried passing the char array instead but no go.. What 
am I missing? :\

Oops, do `const immutable(char)* sources = source.toStringz` 
(or just use `auto sources = ...`).

OMG IT FINALLY WORKS :O
(%1 of the program complete!)

Thankyou very much, this was a huge help! It's such a small piece 
but I feel like a learned alot from this. :)
