[SOLVED] Broken Header Include Location

[Octacone]

Language: C
Compiler: i386 GCC Cross Compiler
Operating System: Linux Ubuntu Latest

I have a big problem. I can't include header files using #include "../Folder/Something/FileIwantToInclude.h"
I am constantly getting:

Code: Select all

fatal error: ../Headers/Kernel/FileIwantToInclude.h: No such file or directory

I am loosing my mind. This used to work...
Also this is my folder tree type:

Code: Select all

Basic OS
  ˇHeaders
    ˇ Kernel
        ˘ FileIwantToInclude.h

Does anybody know what is going on?

Where is the file you're putting the #include directive in?

Oh...
It is in a different directory... I can't use that since they are not starting from the same root point.

I figured this out: $OS -> exported path to my OS root folder.
Now how do I do this:

Code: Select all

#include "$OS/Headers/Kernel/Types.h"

You didn't answer my question.

To add to GCC's list of directories to search for headers, use "-iquote path" or "-I path". Paths added with "-iquote" will only be searched if you include with quotation marks, not angle brackets. (They're not really angle brackets.)

It might be wise to look into the -I option of GCC, especially you'll have to change every single include statement if you decide to change the structure again.

Perhaps something like:

Code: Select all

i686-elf-gcc ... -I$OS/Headers ...

Would be good.

Never mind, Octocontrabass already made that suggestion

Thanks Octocontrabass and Mikumiku747 for helping me out. It works!

You didn't answer my question.

It is in:
Sources/Kernel/Kernel.c

[Octocontrabass]

Sources/Kernel/Kernel.c

Wouldn't the correct include path be "../../Headers/Kernel/FileIwantToInclude.h"?

[Octacone]

Sources/Kernel/Kernel.c

Wouldn't the correct include path be "../../Headers/Kernel/FileIwantToInclude.h"?

Oh you can do two of these: ../
Didn't know that :/
Thanks for helping!!
