Thanks for the confirmation. It helps me to learn.
You've dived right into a multi-module projects without a full
understanding of imports and linking. I suggest you back up a
bit and get familiar with the process before tackling ketmar
and Adam's stuff. If they used dub, it would be a very easy
process. Since they don't, and you have to manage it all
manually, you need a solid understanding of how DMD handles
this stuff and why you are getting the error messages you see.
I'm used to compiling stuff in FreeBSD land. They have a group of
people who take care to manage the build process (the dub part, i
presume). What you say above is correct. I don't understand
imports and linking. I can read the docs and they make sense, but
I don't quite get it yet.
Thanks for writing up that simple exercise. That's next.
I was able to compile a working executable by specifying almost
all *.d files on the command line. It didn't render an image, but
it did pop up a window with an error message saying it couldn't
load an image. I'm calling that victory.

Jason
