In c++, gcc -c x/cmain.cpp wil compile without any error.

****cmain.cpp***
#include <iostream>
#include "chelper.h"

int main(){
   std::cout << "Printing from cmain\n" ;
   chelper_foo("cmain");
   return 0;
}

In D, dmd -c x/dmain.d will complainsabout dhelper.d file which is in  
the x folder.  What should I do to get  rid of this error?  dmd -c  
x/dmain.d x/dhelper.d compiles but I do not want that.

****dmain.d***
import std.stdio;
import dhelper;

void main(){
   writefln("Hi from d");
   dhelper_foo("dmain");
}

The compiler can't find the dhelper source.  It looks in your search path,  
and then at the module path.

For example, if you did:

import x.dhelper;

it would compile main.  But then of course, dhelper better be told that  
it's x.dhelper and not just dhelper :)

// inside dhelper.d
module x.dhelper;
