extern(C++) in win32.mak

[Paul D Anderson]

I don't understand the following line in dmd/src/win32.mak:

extern (C++) __gshared const(char)* ddoc_default = import 
("default_ddoc_theme.ddoc");

What does the word "import" mean in this context? I can't find 
any documentation on the use of import in this way, and the line 
fails to compile during the make.

The error message is:

file "default_ddoc_theme.ddoc" cannot be found or not in a path 
specified with -J

The file is in the directory dmd2/src/res, which is specified 
with -J../res in the build.

Is there anyone who knows the ins and outs of the makefile that 
can shed some light?

Thanks,
Paul
