Just FYI.. I was just trying your bitmapview.002.src.zip demo when I 
struck this error:

main.d(14): module tileedit is in multiple packages tileedit

on main.d(14) I saw "import bitview;", opening bitview.d I saw "module 
tileedit;"..
changing that to "module bitview;" fixed the compile problem.

I have crossposted this to the bugs group as I think that error message 
above needs improving.. I have no idea what it's trying to say.

Mike (a/k/a one_mad_alien; a/k/a l8night) probably ought to put a big

L8night: http://www.dsource.org/projects/l8night/
Core32:  http://www.dsource.org/projects/core32/

Since you mentioned bitmapview, you might want to read this in particular:


I think the newest code is in the SVN repository for L8night (the 
download area for the dsource project might be out-of-date). And since 
L8night depends on Core32, you'll need that, too.

Otherwise, this code might work for you:

Let me know if you run into any more problems. Since I haven't worked 
with any of this stuff for a few months, some of the code may be a 
little stale.



 main.d(14): module tileedit is in multiple packages tileedit


I agree it's vague. I've run into this before. I think it means the 
compiler is finding 2 modules named "tileedit" at the top of the file or 
something similar.

I like to mention the error message in the Subject when that's my main 
criticism, e.g. "module is in multiple packages".

In fact after searching the D archives, I found where I complained about 
this error message back in January: 
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/21956.html

And in November 2003:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/19168.html



 
 on main.d(14) I saw "import bitview;", opening bitview.d I saw "module 
 tileedit;"..

Come on, pick a newsgroup and go with it. ;) If you think it's a 
compiler bug, post it on the bug group. If you think you're coding it 
wrong and you're asking for a tip, post it on dm.D. (Post as if you're 
confident even if you're not.)


 above needs improving.. I have no idea what it's trying to say.

Thanks.


 I think the newest code is in the SVN repository for L8night (the 
 download area for the dsource project might be out-of-date). And since 
 L8night depends on Core32, you'll need that, too.

I got it all working fine, after fixing the error I mentioned. I was 
simply posting this because the download needs fixing.. if it's been 
replaced by a dsource project, fine, does it have the same bug, or was it 
fixed? .. why don't I get it and see :)


 main.d(14): module tileedit is in multiple packages tileedit


 I agree it's vague. I've run into this before. I think it means the 
 compiler is finding 2 modules named "tileedit" at the top of the file or 
 something similar.


In this case it was finding "module tileedit;" at the top of a file called 
"bitview.d". There were no other occurances of the word "tileedit" in any 
of the source files, and the error only occurs if you compile all the 
source files at once, compiling them seperately gives no errors.

Basically the error message is broken IMO.

 criticism, e.g. "module is in multiple packages".


Thats a good idea.


 In fact after searching the D archives, I found where I complained about

One of those is identical to this problem.


 on main.d(14) I saw "import bitview;", opening bitview.d I saw "module 
 tileedit;"..
 changing that to "module bitview;" fixed the compile problem.

 wrong and you're asking for a tip, post it on dm.D. (Post as if you're 
 confident even if you're not.)


I picked both, because 1/2 of it belonged in the main NG (the bit abouut 
the example being broken, and the other 1/2 belonged in the bugs group 
(the bit about the vague error message).

Perhaps I should split my post into 2 seperate posts next time? I figured 
I'd be repeating myself if I did that, so why not cross-post?

Now that I think about it, you have better luck contacting Mike through 
a Private Message at dsource. I doubt he's been keeping up with this 
newsgroup. I haven't noticed him posting recently.

Maybe cross-posting is the better approach. I was just suggesting 
another way of doing it.

I guess I don't like to see cross-posting when a thread is started 
because I try to read all of the messages in dm.D and dm.D.bugs. I find 
the deja vu aspect to be a bit of a time-waster.

Sorry, I didn't mean to come across as so critical.
