Well now I get these errors

BTW I got git to work with NTLMaps also there is a separate zip 
file for each module no issue.  Sorry I did not get a chance to 
try this on my Linux box yesterday.  BTW I did copy the hello.d 
file over to the snippets folder and used the same command line 
that compiles regular snippets to compile this and it worked just 
fine.  So basically I put hello.d in the 
C:\GITClones\dwt\org.eclipse.swt.snippets\src\org\eclipse\swt\snippets 
and used the following command to compile it rdmd build 
swtsnippets[hello] from the C:\GITClones\dwt directory.  This 
built a executable called Swthello.exe in C:\GITClones\dwt\bin 
directory.  So I know the code compiles and runs without issue.  
I just don't know the magic that build.d is performing so that I 
can replicate it outside the dwt directory structures.  I read 
through build.d and it seems kind of over complicating but I 
guess the complexity is obviously needed because I can't seem to 
get it to compile any other way.  The rsp file that build.d uses 
has 30 lines that it sends to dmd.  Poor dmd... ;)  Oh well maybe 
will just need more time working with dmd and it's toolset before 
I take on something this big.  Rome wasn't built in a day but 
then again the Romans did not have D with build.d either.
