V should definitely give a better error, but...

You need a v.mod file at the root of your project. V uses this file to "anchor" local module searches.

After I added that file, the output is:

$ v .
src/main.v:3:8: warning: module 'def (src.abc.def)' is imported but never used
    1 | module main
    2 | 
    3 | import abc.def
      |        ~~~~~~~
    4 | 
    5 | fn main() {}
$

.
├── src
│   ├── abc
│   │   └── def
│   │       └── def.v
│   └── main.v
└── v.mod

I am not getting a C error.

I am not getting a C error.

I still get it on the latest V version

I am not getting a C error too.

Compiling with v . doesn't give a C error but with v ./src it does

I can reproduce this on my side. Working on it.
