Description Andrej Mitrovic 2013-10-08 12:14:54 UTC 
Modules:

foo/bar.d:
-----
module foo.bar;

import foo.std.exception;
import std.range;
-----

foo/std/exception.d:
-----
module foo.std.exception;
-----

Compiling from path where the "foo" folder is located in:

$ dmd -main foo\bar.d
> 

$ rdmd -main foo\bar.d
C:\dmd-git\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\conv.d(26): Error: module foo.std.exception from file foo\std\exception.d must be imported as module 'foo.std.exception'
Comment 1 Andrej Mitrovic 2013-10-08 12:17:30 UTC 
I can see the problem, RDMD automatically adds the foo folder to the import list for some bizarre reason..:

$ rdmd --chatty -main foo\bar.d
^"dmd^" ^"-main^" ^"-v^" ^"-o-^" ^"foo\bar.d^" ^"-Ifoo^"

I should not add that import switch.

Arguably beyond the scope of what rdmd is supposed to be for
