Problem while including files

[akhilavit]

Im trying to cross compile windows project on linux.

 

I have a romote directory folder in my AppData of windows it contains folders 000,001,002……

 

I have a Linux App project LinuxApp and it uses a function from MySharedLib.so 

(This is just an example, although my project has a little complicated structure.)

Folder Structure:

Project->LinuxApp->LinuxApp->main.cpp

Project->MySharedLib->API->MySharedLib.cpp

I have added include directory of API folder to LinuxApp project properties, dependdency is also set.

When I include MySharedLib.cpp, it works, but while debugging, it takes me to MySharedLib.cpp in romote directory folder. This happens MySharedLib. 

What should I do?

 

Please explain in details.

Thanks

This issue is resolved when I added

#include “../../MySharedLib/API/MySharedLib.cpp”

 

i.e. when I give relative path, it works smoothly.

 

I dont want to give path this way. Please guide me.

 

Note:

When I type #include “../../ 

following folders are shown up:

MySharedLib, LinuxApp, 000, 001, 002

all of the above folders are at the same level .. is that little weird?

Because my project folder contains only two folders viz. MySharedLib & LinuxApp

 

and 000, 001, 002 ….these are not present there

Hi,

Most likely this happens because your LinuxApp project specifies the absolute path to MySharedLib in its settings. This is by design – absolute include paths are treated as system paths and are automatically cached.

You can override this by adding a custom path mapping in LinuxApp’s VisualGDB Project Properties or by using relative paths in project properties instead.

Please also note that including the library .cpp files from other .cpp files will not refer to the code in the library, but will instead just copy that code to your application. You can read more about C++ headers and sources here: http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/articles/10627/

Sorry. I meant #include “../../MySharedLib/API/MySharedLib.h” and not .cpp 

This is my API class

Thanks

No problem. Please follow the instructions from the rest of the post in order to resolve this.
