           Summary: "module in multiple packages" error should say which
                    packages
           Product: D
           Version: 1.014
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: wbaxter gmail.com


I find myself yet again facing the dreaded "module blah is in multiple packages
blah" compiler error.  It would be a huge help in fixing these errors if the
compiler actually said *which* packages it was talking about.

Right now I'm staring at such an error, and I don't see any other module with
the same name.  I have no idea where to look for the conflicting module.  Must
be something somewhere on my include path I guess.  Or just a mistaken module
declaration somewhere from a copy-paste error.  Whatever it is, it would be a
lot easier to find if the compiler told me what it thought was conflicting.

Even worse, in this case the problem turned out to be that I was doing import Point3D; when the module in file Point3d.d had module Point3d; So the error message "module is in multiple packages" is not even accurate. Since it has to do with files and case, this could be a Windows specific problem. --
