digitalmars.D.learn - Trouble with modules

reply Andrew Madigan <amadigan gmail.com> writes:
I have a file called HttpCommon.d where I am throwing code that needs to be
imported by a few files in my project. It contains an enum and a few
constants. When I try to to import it, I get the following error:

Request.d:5: module HttpCommmon cannot read file 'HttpCommmon.d'

HttpCommon.d (in the same directory) contains:

//Common globals for HTTP

enum Protocol   {
        //Removed
}

static char[] getProtocolName(Protocol protocol)        {
        //Removed
}

static Protocol getProtocolByName(char[] name)  {
        //Removed
}

class StatusCode        {
        //Removed
}

What's going on? I don't understand how the compiler finds files, but I'm
thinking that's where it's going wrong.

There is a restriction in D in that one cannot have a module with the same name as the directory it appears in. The simple workaround is to rename one or the other. -- Derek Parnell Melbourne, Australia

hmmm, maybe I am misunderstanding, but the directory these files are in is called "dhttp" (I'm on linux, so the path is really just ~/dhttp). The file structure looks like this: dhttp Request.d HttpCommon.d [other d files] Makefile Does HttpCommon need to be in a subdirectory? I admit I find all this a little confusing, Java handles things a little differently.

Sorry, it was my misunderstanding (I rushed a reply as I was going out to see my football team play - they lost). Have you tried the Build utility? It would avoid spelling mistakes like this. -- Derek Parnell Melbourne, Australia

You get this message if you haven't passed a file to the compiler. dmd HttpCommon.d

I have actually done almost this exactly same thing... multiple times. You have three 'm's in HttpCommmon in Request.d line 5. -- Chris Nicholson-Sauls

Wow, I need to stop making dumb posts to this forum, I must have looked at that same line of code 50 times.

Allright, now I'm getting a related error, there are two functions defined in HttpCommon.d (they're global). I'm getting errors about multiple definition. What should I do? gdc HttpCommon.d -o http Application.o HttpCommon.o http.o InterruptableThread.o Request.o RequestThread.o RootApplication .o StatusCode.o TestApp.o WebServer.o HttpCommon.o: In function `_D10HttpCommon10HttpCommon15getProtocolNameFE10HttpCommon8ProtocolZAa ':HttpCommon.d:(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `_D10HttpCommon10HttpCommon15getProtocolNameFE10HttpCommon8ProtocolZAa' /tmp/cccBIwTr.o:HttpCommon.d:(.text+0x0): first defined here HttpCommon.o: In function `_D10HttpCommon10HttpCommon17getProtocolByNameFAaZE10HttpCommon8Protocol ':HttpCommon.d:(.text+0x5 e): multiple definition of `_D10HttpCommon10HttpCommon17getProtocolByNameFAaZE10HttpCommon8Protocol' /tmp/cccBIwTr.o:HttpCommon.d:(.text+0x5e): first defined here HttpCommon.o:(.rodata+0x14): multiple definition of `_init_10HttpCommon10HttpCommon' /tmp/cccBIwTr.o:(.rodata+0x14): first defined here HttpCommon.o:(.rodata+0x28): multiple definition of `_vtbl_10HttpCommon10HttpCommon' /tmp/cccBIwTr.o:(.rodata+0x28): first defined here HttpCommon.o:(.data+0x0): multiple definition of `_Class_10HttpCommon10HttpCommon' /tmp/cccBIwTr.o:(.data+0x0): first defined here collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [http] Error 1

It seems like you're compiling both HttpCommon.d and HttpCommon.o, and that they're conflicting with each other.
