E4003: Unresolved Import

error[E4003]: unresolved import 'libraries/Storage.sol'
  --> MyContract.sol:3:1
   |
3  | import "libraries/Storage.sol";
   | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   = help: pass the devpack root with -I: neo-solc MyContract.sol -I devpack

Cause: The compiler cannot find the imported file relative to any include path.

Solutions:

1. Pass the devpack root as an include path:

   neo-solc MyContract.sol -I devpack -o build/MyContract

2. Verify the import path matches the devpack directory structure:

   devpack/
   ├── contracts/    → import "contracts/NativeCalls.sol"
   ├── libraries/    → import "libraries/Storage.sol"
   └── standards/    → import "standards/NEP17.sol"

3. For multiple include paths, pass -I multiple times:

   neo-solc MyContract.sol -I devpack -I ./my-libs -o build/MyContract

TIP

Import paths are resolved relative to each -I directory in order. The compiler does not use Solidity remappings or package managers.
