Having trouble adding "readline.h"

[never_lose]

#include "readline.h"

This is at the top of a code that I'm trying to run, but I can't run it because I get this error:

bank_customer.c:15:22: readline.h: No such file or directory

I'm using NetBeans on Windows 7. I've downloaded the readline 6.2 library and put "readline.h" into the C:\cygwin\usr\include directory and I got this error:

/usr/include/readline.h:83: error: parse error before "PARAMS"
/usr/include/readline.h:86: error: parse error before "PARAMS"
/usr/include/readline.h:87: error: parse error before "PARAMS"
/usr/include/readline.h:88: error: parse error before "PARAMS"
/usr/include/readline.h:89: error: parse error before "PARAMS"

I've tried adding just the "readline.h" by itself and all the other .h files along with it but still get the same error. Any tips?

Did you download it manually, or did you use the cygwin setup utility to fetch/install it for you?

Because manually putting things into include directories seems like you're missing some steps.

Put the readline.h header file in the same directory as the source file that's including it. If you place it in C:\cygwin\usr\include, then you can replace the quotes with less than/greater than signs.
