Meteor with typescript run with Unknown absolute import path

Question

I used meteor-typescript-compiler (https://github.com/meteor-typescript/meteor-typescript-compiler) for my new project. For testing purpose, I created fresh Meteor project and put only one file main.ts to it

/// <reference path="./typings/definitions/meteor.d.ts" />
console.log ('added to stack');
Meteor.methods({
  'test': function() {
     console.log('from main');
  }
});

Then, I added 2 packages

meteor add meteortypescript:compiler
meteor add systemjs:systemjs

And download the definition files from https://github.com/meteor-typescript/meteor-typescript-libs and put into the typings folder

When triggering meteor run, I got the exception

main.ts (3, 1): Cannot compile namespaces when the '--isolatedModules' flag is provided.
main.ts (3, 1): Cannot compile namespaces when the '--isolatedModules' flag is provided.
=> Errors prevented startup:                  

   While processing files with meteortypescript:compiler (for target web.browser):
   <anonymous>: Unknown absolute import path /typings/definitions/meteor.d.ts

My Visual Studio Code can see the reference path and does not complain anything about that. What can I do to make this simple configuration work?

Cannot compile namespaces when the '--isolatedModules' flag is provided

Since the meteor.d.ts file uses namespaces you should not have --isolatedModules compiler flag set. Add a tsconfig.json if there isn't one already and have this option set to false.
