I use derelics for my sdl/opengl application and I wanted to make one module to
hold all my structures. I don't know much about scope and inheritance of types
and thus don't know how to make this work :(
In my structures I use the OpenGL types (GLubyte etc.)
What do I have to do to make these types visible to other modules?
Or.. where can I read about this :)
btw. Is it really necessary to use the gl types iso d types?

import the structures module in any module that will need to use them


<code name="structs.d">
struct foo{int i;}
</code>

<code name="other.d">
import structs;

void main()
{
  foo bar;
  bar.i = 3;
  return;
}
</code>

Thx for the reply, and sorry for my ambigious question :)

I import like this:

import std.string;
import std.c.stdio;

import derelict.util.exception;
import derelict.opengl.gl;
import derelict.sdl.sdl;
import derelict.sdl.image;
import derelict.opengl.glu;

import structures;

And get this error:
structures.d(19): identifier 'GLubyte' is not defined

"structures.d" will need to import anything that it needs, so find which 
derelict import defines GLubyte and add an import line for it in 
structures.d.

Adding 
import derelict.opengl.gl;
did the trick :)
Note to self > Modules are no C Header files :D
thx.
Would you by chance know whether it is necessary/good programming to use the
opengl types iso D types? :)

Personally, I would use the OpenGL types, but there isn't really a 
difference.
