Title: Problem including source files from other folders
Post by: avestruz on July 13, 2016, 12:31:48 pm
Hello, I recently moved some files from my current project's folder to a library folder, but now I am not being able to compile it. I deleted the source files from the current project and added them again from the current library folder. They were added without problems, when I call alt+f2 I can see them added in the project tree in their new folder. I then proceeded to change the include that takes care of one file used. I changed it from
Code
#include "FileManager.h"
to
Code
#include "../framework/FileManager.h"
However when I try to compile the project I receive:

Quote
error: ./framework/FileManager.h: No such file or directory|

Besides a lot of
Quote
error: 'Anything from FileManager' was not declared in this scope

I went to settings, compiler and debugger, Search directories tab, to both compiler and linker tabs and added the pathname to the framework to see if it worked. Nothing.

However, if I add the full pathname in the include,
Code
#include "/dir1/dir2/.../.../framework/FileManager.h"
I am able to compile without problems.

Apparently my problem is equal to this here: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,13709.15.html that ended without a full solution.

On the project's .cbp file, I can see lots of
Quote
<Unit filename="../framework/FileManager.cpp" />
which for me seems about right.

So I would appreciate any recommendations to try to solve the matter.

Please read these two FAQs

and

Then, if you have NOT figured out the problem post your full rebuild log (and file layout info might be needed, also).

Is this a copy-paste error or this is the real output of the compiler? I'm talking about ./ instead of ../ in the beginning.
