Hello, i struggling now to make my D program better organized.
As suggested here https://github.com/bioinfornatics/MakefileForD, i put all source files to src. Here is my current directory tree:

./
  Makefile
  src/
    main.d
    pcre/
      capi.d
      pcre_regex.d

Then i run make:

$ make
dmd -O -d -m32 -L-ldl -m32   -Isrc -c src/pcre/pcre_regex.d -ofbuild/src/pcre/pcre_regex.o
src/pcre/pcre_regex.d(79): Error: import pcre_regex.pcre is used as a type

What it could be ?

pcre is defined in pcre/capi.d as:

struct pcre {}

Then it is used in pcre_regex.d this way:

import pcre.capi;

class RegExp {
private pcre* _ppcre;  // <-- Error: import pcre_regex.pcre is used as a type
...
}

it doesn't know what do you need, since there is two or more possible variants(pcre(package), pcre(struct), ...), so in such places just fully specify type name

class RegExp {
private pcre.capi.pcre _ppcre;
...
}

 Thank you, it's now works with full type name.
