Summary: calling rdmd from different folder Product: D Version: D2 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Windows Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Phobos AssignedTo: nob...@puremagic.com ReportedBy: crypticmetapho...@gmail.com --- Comment #0 from crypticmetapho...@gmail.com 2010-12-19 18:47:59 PST --- Overview: Calling rdmd from outside the folder in which the main source file resides in, and the main source file imports another file, causes an error. Steps to reproduce: Steps to reproduce & Actual results:: example: ...\projectfolder\src\main.d ...\projectfolder\src\test.d // main.d module main; import test.d; void main() { hello(); } // end main.d // test.d module test.d; import std.stdio; void hello() { writeln("Hello"); } // end test.d // If I'm in a shell, and I do this, I get an error: ...\projectfolder>rdmd src\main.d src\main.d(2): Error: module test is in file 'test.d' which cannot be read import path[0] = C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos import path[1] = C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\druntime\import // If I call this, I generate a main.d.deps file that can't find main.d // last line of main.d.deps: "Error: cannot read file main.d" ...\projectfolder>rdmd -I(absolute path to src) main.d // but if I do this, it works: ...\projectfolder\src>rdmd main.d ...\projectfolder\src>Hello world // also works with ...\projectfolder\src>dmd main.d test.d // compiles Expected results: The application should work because the location of the main and the other files file is known when the program is ran. Or, at least, you should be able to specify a directory as an argument to rdmd in which rdmd will work. Build Date & Platform: * rdmd build 20101220 * dmd 2.050 * Windows XP Pro Additional Information: I've found a workaround. I start a batch file to which I pass as argument the absolute path to the src directory. I go to that directory in the batch file, and execute rdmd. Example batch file: cd %1\src build.bat rdmd --build-only --chatty -of%1..\bin\main -I%1..\inc main.d -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
