Compiling scala files inside their package folder from Command Line -

i trying compile scala files inside package folders. have 3 files, patient.scala, patientmonitor.scala, , vitalsigns.scala, reside in following path gasguru/patient/

here file vitalsigns.scala

// /gasguru/patient/vitalsigns.scala package gasguru.patient   class vitalsigns () {       var heartrate = 0;   } 

and compile following line: scalac -d ../.. vitalsigns.scala results in vitalsigns.class file being created in same directory in.

now if go compile patient.scala contains this:

// /gasguru/patient/patient.scala import gasguru.patient.vitalsigns; package gasguru.patient {    class patient ( val firstname:string, val lastname:string) {     val vitalsigns = new vitalsigns();   } } 

and if try , compile following line: scalac -d ../.. patient.scala following error

patient.scala:2: error: vitalsigns not member of gasguru.patient import gasguru.patient.vitalsigns;        ^ error: error while loading vitalsigns, missing dependency 'class gasguru.patient.vitalsigns', required ./vitalsigns.class patient.scala:6: error: vitalsigns not have constructor         val vitalsigns = new vitalsigns();                                    ^ 3 errors found 

why getting error when vitalsigns.class resides inside of same directory compiling file? shouldn't importing suffice?

thanks!

edit:

chs@ubuntu:~/gasguru/gasguru/patient$ ls exceptions            patient.scala     vitalsigns.scala patientmonitor.scala  vitalsigns.class 

you not passing source file of vitalsigns.scala parameter, try search classfile. classfile of class in package x.y under directory x/y, means trying find gasguru/patient/vitalsigns.class, not exist in current directory at.

if add -classpath ../.., should find file.
