Convert VS2010 to C::B project
I'm having trouble defining include directoroes for C::B after transferring everything from a VS2010 project.
My directory structure looks like this:
In MySource.cpp I
In "Project>Build Options>Search Directories", I've added
My directory structure looks like this:
bin
doc
inc
\_ MyProj
\_ MyHeader.hpp
lib
proj
\_ MyProj.cbp <-- New Code::Blocks project
\_ MyProj.sln <-- Existing Visual Studio solution
src
\_ MySource.cpp |
In MySource.cpp I
#include <MyProj/MyHeader.hpp> . However, I get a fatal error that MyHeader.hpp cannot be found. I'm using <> headers because I am building a library and the headers will be available in the API.In "Project>Build Options>Search Directories", I've added
../inc. What else do I need to do in C::B?

Normally yes, however the project (with hundreds of source files) was created like this and works well in VS2010. The end user of the library still uses VS, but I've switched to linux so no VS for me. I'd like to make a code::blocks project that uses the same source so that it can be developed in a parallel environment (Linux and windows). Other than the <> which should be available to any C++ compiler, there is no compiler/IDE/platform-specific code.
The reason that we use <> is that this is a library and some of the header file include each other. Since it's a library, it's designed to go into a compiler's include folder (like with <boost/..>). We want to keep the same headers for our development and the distributed release identical so we include <> instead of with "".
Edit: The <> isn't actually the main problem. I replaced the <> in the first source file with "" and still got the same fatal error.

I'm beginning to dislike Code::blocks. I can't even find the generated command line arguments. It's been 3 hours since I installed it and I'm already tempted to toss it out.

I'm just going to go ahead and make my own makefile. I'm guessing it will be easier.

Yes. Makefiles are a lot easier to manage than assorted, idiosyncratic IDE build mechanisms.
For a non-newbie, that is.

Ah, there it is!
So I can see that I do include the ../inc directory. I can also confirm that /home/stew/SVN/SimEng/inc/SimEng/A429BCD.hpp exists.
