           Summary: object.d: module object cannot read file 'object.d'
           Product: D
           Version: 1.033
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: dufresnep gmail.com


Symptom: When 'dmd somefile.d' get:
object.d: module object cannot read file 'object.d'

Probable reason: probably does not handle spaces in path in -I for DFLAGS in
sc.ini coming from % P% which I believe to be the path of DMD.
I tried to write full path to -IC:\... in sc.ini, but that did not helped.

I use an openshell.bat file:
==========
 echo off
PATH=%CD%\bin;%PATH%
PROMPT=%USERNAME% %COMPUTERNAME%:$P$G$S
COLOR 0F
ECHO Shell setup for Digital Mars D Compiling and Debugging
ECHO change which drive you're on: [Drive Letter]:\
ECHO eg. C:\ to change to C drive
%HOMEDRIVE%
CD %HOMEPATH%
CMD
============

Does not work on my Desktop (probably because of "Documents and Settings").
So I tried do decompress to "C:\OKTANGO" the whole thing. Was working fine
there.
Then renamed to "C:\BAD TANGO" and rerun openshell.bat and recompile hello.d,
with the "object.d: module object cannot read file 'object.d'" message.

I am using tangobos-0.99.7-bin-win32-dmd.1.033.

Yup, dmd can't handle include paths with spaces in them, at least not when
settings them in sc.ini.  It's annoying, but more or less documented here:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/dmd-windows.html#problems

It's likely that the linker (optlink) can't handle paths with spaces either,
and that's not likely to be fixed anytime soon.  So avoiding spaces is the way
to go.

This problem will be fixed in future releases?

No. Optlink hasn't been changed in a decade, AFAIK; its bugs will probably
never get fixed.

I think that the linker is a separate issue -- importing modules is strictly a
front-end issue, and an annoying one, if one is foolish enough to install D in,
say, c:\Program Files\Digital Mars\

Is this problem will be forever? This will impose restrictions on the IDE for D
and installers. If the linker can be used other (not Optlink) that the compiler
- no. Walter, please, fix it.
