Ok, so I have been using build and I have been working perfectly fine, until today, when I want to use DDoc and tried using

dmd -I.. -D test.d

I get,

11:50:42.85>dmd -I.. test.d
.\jic\libs\MyLibTest.d(3): no identifier for declarator PrintHello
.\jic\libs\MyLibTest.d(3): semicolon expected, not '{'
.\jic\libs\MyLibTest.d(3): Declaration expected, not '{'
.\jic\libs\MyLibTest.d(5): unrecognized declaration

11:55:02.08>dmd -I.. test.d

test.obj(test)
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _D3jic4libs9MyLibTest10PrintHelloFZAa
--- errorlevel 1

source code is simple,

11:55:28.87>type test.d

private import jic.libs.MyLibTest;
int main(char[][] args)
{
PrintHello();
return 1;
}

and

11:58:08.13>type ..\jic\libs\MyLibTest.d
module jic.libs.MyLibTest;
char[] PrintHello()
{
printf("Hello\n");
}

I tried to see what options I could use, but somehow, the -I option for dmd is not finding ..\jic\libs\.

Any ideas?

thanks.

Well, you're not linking this file in anywhere, as far as I can see.  You'll have to put either its source file or its object file on the command line.

You mean that I have to do,

dmd -D -I.. test.d ..\jic\libs\MyLibTest.d

Is this correct?  So, if I have 10 library files (..\jic\libs\MyLibTest0-9.d) I have to add them all to the command?  I.e.

dmd -D -I.. test.d ..\jic\libs\MyLibTest0.d ..\jic\libs\MyLibTest1.d .\jic\libs\MyLibTest2.d ..\jic\libs\MyLibTest3.d ..\jic\libs\MyLibTest4.d .\jic\libs\MyLibTest5.d ..\jic\libs\MyLibTes6.d ..\jic\libs\MyLibTest7.d .\jic\libs\MyLibTest8.d ..\jic\libs\MyLibTest9.d

If so, what does the -I option does then?  Sorry to be so unwise at this, but build does all of that for me. :-)  And I have been using build since the Good Lord brought me to D.

thanks for the help

If you use -I, you don't actually tell the compiler to import anything.  All you do is give it another directory from which it should look for imports.

For example, you can use -I"C:\verylongannoyingpathofevil\derelict\" so that you don't need to write it out for ever derelict module you use.

btw, I think Derek would love to hear that statement.  He's worked hard to make it easier to use D.

All this does is compile the file 'test.d', it does not compile nor link your library module. Try this instead ...


dmd -I.. test.d ..\jic\libs\MyLibTest.d

The dmd compiler is quite brain-dead when it comes to finding files. You have to tell it everything.

Another way is to create a 'response file' for dmd.

---------- test.rsp ---------
-I..
test.d
..\jic\libs\MyLibTest.d
-----------------------------

Then use ...

dmd @test.rsp


Alternatively, just use 'Build' ;-)

Or, just do this:

dmd -D -I"..\jib\libs\" test.d MyLibTest.d MyLibTest0.d MyLibTest1.d ...

Or, if you've already compiled those libs to .obj files,

dmd -D -I"..\jib\libs\" test.d MyLibTest.obj MyLibTest0.obj ...
