You should also be able to do this:

   rdmd --build-only jeteste.d

Normally, the rdmd tool will compile and immediately execute the 
"jeteste" program. Rdmd is "smarter" than dmd, because it will 
calculate all the files that you need to compile and link. 
However, rdmd stores the executable in a different ("hidden") 
directory. (On my computer, it is storing the executable in 
"/tmp/.rdmd-1000/.../".)

But you can call rdmd as "rdmd --build-only". This will compile 
the executable in the *current* directory, and will not execute 
it.
