import/modules

[marksibly]

Hi,

D newbie here with a few import/module related questions.

I have a test project with the following dir/file layout:

c:\test.d
c:\testmod\test2.d

The modules reference each other via imports (very nice!) and it all
compiles fine as long as I specify both modules on the dmd command
line, eg:

c:\> dmd test.d testmod\test2.d

But I can't get '-I' to do this for me, eg:

c:\> dmd -Ic:\ test.d

...doesn't work - can't find the second module.

What am I doing wrong? Or is this just the way it works? If so, what
does -I actually do?

I also notice that you seem to be able to call packages/modules
anything you want!

The docs state that package names=dirs and module names=files, but
you can apparently use anything you want for either, as long as the
module decl matches the import.

Not a biggy, but then what exactly are packages for?

Bye!

ps: the samples in the windows release don't work - they're looking
for a dmd/bin dir, but there's only dmd/windows. Tried copying
bin & lib dirs in windows up a level but no luck.
