I have a library that has many folders and D files in them. I do not
want to list name of all module files one by one while compiling
projects. So, I thought I could use "-I" flag while compiling. It says:
-Ipath
where to look for imports
So, I made a test as follows:
./test.d
==================================
import inc.blah;
void main(){
inc.blah.a = 5;
}
./inc/blah.d
==================================
module inc.blah;
public int a;
./makefile
==================================
all:
dmd -I"./inc/" test.d
When I do "make", result is as follows:
dmd -I"./inc/" test.d
test.o: In function `_Dmain':
test.d:(.text._Dmain+0x10): undefined reference to `_D3inc4blah1ai'
Do I understand wrong how that "-I" flag works?
Basically during linking not all symbols used is passed in.
You are doing a single compile + link.
So what -I does is tell the compiler to look for definitions in files on
the paths specified. But does not compile them into the binary output.
I would suggest instead of using make, use dub[0] build manager instead.
It'll handle grabbing all the files and compiling them correctly.
