There is a bug open in dmd about this issue: https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20668. I've commented that tilix is affected but that's pretty much all I can do.

Hmm, interesting. Please write about this bug and -allinst flag in the build guide. Thanks!

I also suggest you move the build guide from the readme to a separate file. An ordinary users will not need a build guide, they will just download or install it from the distribution repository.

I'm not a tilix developer so I can't help you with that. I've made a PR that changes meson.build to add the correct flags when compiling with dmd and gdc.
