It looks like -I doesn't work on linux. If I try
| Code: | | build sample.d -I.. -v |
I get a command-line
| Code: | | Running '/home/bhinkle/dmd/bin/dmd "-v" "-op" "-version=Posix" "-I"/"" "-I"/home/bhinkle/dmd/src/phobos"" "-c" "sample.d" ' |
which seems to have lost my "..". The quoting also looks strange to me: should "-I"/"" be "-I/".
As a side question why is it adding root to the include path anyway? I would think the user should have to do that explicitly if they need root. |

Not really. It converted the ".." into the real path value. As it is showing "/" then all I can assume is that your CWD at the time was "/something" and thus ".." relative that that is simply "/".
What did you expect when you used -I..? Maybe I'm misunderstanding something.

Yep. I was told by somebody else that the quotes needed to go after the "-I" but I forgot to then not quote the entire switch. I've fixed that now.

If by root, you mean the path "/" then I've explained that above.

My cwd was /home/bhinkle/d/minwin. Maybe there is a bug in expanding cwd?

I really wanted -I../.. but when that didn't work I tried -I.. and that didn't work either. Basically I couldn't get -I to work. |

Ok, I'll look through it again, but later today. I'll keep you posted.

Found it!  I assumed that getcwd() would return a string whose last character was the path separator ( / in Unix and \ in Windows). Needless to say, it doesn't  But anyway, its working now.
The release should happen later today.
