You can take a look at the dub build tool to automate all this
(as mentioned above). Dub works by compiling and linking
everything together in your source folder. You specify the main
entry point in a dub.json file. It's pretty easy to use and good
for handling dependencies over the internet.
To compile things manually you can use rdmd to automatically
parse the files that need compiling. When using rdmd you only
need to specify the file that contains the main function to build
everything around it. for example:
rdmd program.d
This will pull in all imports inside program.d and compile and
link them too.
