header path & include

[dontoo]

Folder ( directory) hierarchy is like this:

FolderRoot/FolderX/FolderY/main.c
FolderRoot/FolderZ/header.h

How to include (write) header.h into main.c

#include "../../??????header.h" ??

[Elysia]

#include "../../FolderZ/header.h"

If you are using GCC then you could just include the path to the headers like normal:
in main.c:
#include "header.h"

Then when compiling:
gcc main.c -I/FolderRoot/FolderZ/ -o myApp

Or this can be set in the Makefile if you are using that. Typically hardcoding even relative paths into include statements is bad juju.
