D packages, include directories, and rdmd

[Andrew Pennebaker]

I've got a single-file D module,
dashcheck.d<https://github.com/mcandre/dashcheck>,
that I'd like to install as a local package. In other words, I'd like to be
able to "import dashcheck;" from any directory.

I put dashcheck.d in ~/.d/, and I put export DFLAGS=-I~/.d in ~/.profile,
but when I try to run example.d from another directory, I get:

$ ./example.d
./example.d(3): Error: module dashcheck is in file 'dashcheck.d' which
cannot be read
import path[0] = /usr/local/Cellar/dmd/2.051/src/phobos
import path[1] = /usr/local/Cellar/dmd/2.051/src/druntime/importCheers,

It appears that rdmd ignores $DFLAGS.

Also, when I change the shebang in example.d to #!/usr/bin/env rdmd $DFLAGS,
I get:

$ ./example.d
sh: -I~/.d.d.deps: No such file or directory

So I'm not using import directives correctly. How do I generate
dashcheck.d.deps?
