is there a way to add a C include directory

[codifiesParticipant]

I would like to add an import directory so when importing a cpp file if it includes <subdirectory/file.h> I want to be able to add the directory containing this hiarchy

somepath/includes/subdirectory/file.h

g++ should get

-Isomepath/includes/

added to it (- capital i !!) when compiling the transpiled monkey2 file

blugh too tired now, not explaining myself properly – time for bed!

Yes, use #Import “blah/*.h”.

See ‘build system” in monkey2 language docs for more.

See the SDL module for examples.

I tried that but it choked any time it hit the like of

#include <foo/bar.h>

for the time being I’ve symlinked all the includes into the root of the module as it happens to have the same name as the include directory… (the -I into the modules directory then allows the other includes to loaded by an include)

[Mark SiblyKeymaster]

#include <foo/bar.h>

Try:

#Import “include/*.h”    ‘assuming ‘include’ dir contains ‘foo’ dir.
#Import <foo/bar.h>

This is used in several modules so it does work.

…well, I must have tried that 5 or 6 different ways! lol (horrible feeling I might have been trying to use a relative path)

thanks Mark

much appreciated.
