File not included

[Fraza]

I am using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and the following file structure:

Code: Select all

[Project]
  bin
    release
    debug
  scripts
    [contains project and workspace]
  src
    [contains C++ files]
  include
    [contains Header files]

Those are the main files anyway. In my project options I put under "Additional include directories" "..\include". Now when I try and include a header in the include directory from the main source file in the src directory it doesnt work! When I try and right click and press "open file" (when hovering over the #include) it says "cannot find scripts\header.h".

Can somebody put me out of my misery and point out the problem please

Is the code you are using:

Code: Select all

#include "scripts\file.h"

Your relative path is off since your source is in \source.

Try

Code: Select all

#include "..\scripts\file.h"

no, that's not the problem. The file is "..\include\header.h", using that I can get it to work just fine. However, if I try and add to the project settings additional include directories "..\include" it wont let me have #include "header.h".

It doesn't really matter, especially seeing as it's only a compiler directive, but I would really like to do it in a less sloppy way than putting ..\include\ before all my header files.


Thanks for the response

Did you try #include <header.h>?

I tried that just now, unfortunately that doesn't work either .
