digitalmars.D.learn - rdmd executable location

Hello, I'm having a bit of trouble with rdmd. rdmd puts the executable 
in a temp folder, even with the --build-only option. Maybe this is a 
silly question but, how can I compile with rdmd so I get the executable 
in the folder I am  currently at?

other info: I'm programming in Windows XP with dmd version 2.50

If I run it with the rdmd version that came with the compiler, nothing 
special happens, it just compiles and runs the code, the executable 
doesn't end up in my current folder. ( rdmd build 20100913 ).

If I run it with the compiler version of this code (rdmd build 20101215):
http://dsource.org/projects/phobos/browser/trunk/tools/rdmd.d

I get an assertion error on line 51, so that doesn't work either.

Sorry, that should be: rdmd -od%cd%\ filename.d Notice the backslash there. Otherwise it will create an executable on the root drive with the name of the folder you're compiling in. Funky.. Anyway there are more switches here: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/dmd-windows.html#switches

Now that you mentioned it, I did find the executable one folder above where I executed rdmd :P, but what you wrote works, yay. Thanks!
