Hi everyone,
i'm having trouble with the statement import. Here is an example:

//file ~/d/libtest.d
int fun(int x){
    return x;
}
//endfile

//file ~/d/test.d
import std.stdio;
import libtest;

void main(){
    writeln(fun(2));
}
//endfile


I issue the commands
#cd ~/d
#dmd test.d

and i get the error

test.d:(.text._Dmain+0x9): undefined reference to `_D7libtest3funFiZi'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
--- errorlevel 1

I have no troubles with standard libraries, just mine's. I have the dmd 2.0.50 compiler on a GNU/Linux 64bit system. Any idea?

You must pass all source files on the command line:

dmd test.d libtest.d

dmd test.d libtest.d

"undefined reference" usually means it's a link error, meaning it can't find the code that implements that function.

I have seen plenty of people fall in this trap/error (me too, at the beginning), people are often used to Python or Java, that don't have this problem. So I'd like a better error message here (but generally improving linker error messages isn't easy).
