That does not use the -I switch.
It compiles if I specify the full path to my_module.d:
dmd -IC:\libs main.d C:\libs\my_module.d
I don't understand the error message though.
-I is for import directives only. imports are needed to compile
the importing module. All other modules still need to be
compiled themselves and added to the program either as
individual .o files or as libraries (e.g. .a, .lib, etc.).
The method you've shown is a shorthand for "compile each to .o
and add each to the program."
Working as expected... :)
What about the error message? If -I is only for DMD finding
"import ..." files, and not files on the command line, why does
DMD list what was in the -I "where to look for import directives"
when saying that it can't find a command-line file? It says that
it can't locate my_module.d and then lists the directory that
my_module.d is in.
