Thread: Include problems

Im having some problems with my includes. I tried to stop using relative paths in my includes. I set the 'CPATH' and 'C_INCULDE_PATH' to '/home/martin/libraries/'. I can echo both and get back '/home/martin/libraries/'.

In my home folder under libraries are more files with source code, headers, object files and a library.

Now when ever i tried to include '<strings/str_copy.h>' I get a underfined reference error(for str_copy, a function in str_copy.c/h).

It worked before(with others), but not now. Why? It has to atleast get the prototype right? Why am I even getting these errors?

I just noticed that every time it worked was when i was working in the sam directory.

Is there a variable I can change so it looks for the object file with the includes name? Is there a 'automated' way of doing this?

Well, you might want to start by lowering your big @$$ ego,

I want correct usefull code, not something that just compiles.........



where are all gurus? is every one leaving?

It is best to leave all the standard libraries in the directories they were installed to. But under your options you should be able to change the path to the standard libraries as well as your user libraries.

I would consult the docs for your compiler to see if it covers this.
