General Development

Multiple projects, one solution; and Static libs – luke

luke Member Posts: 311 From: I use your computer as my second Linux box Registered: 10-30-2005	Ok; Basically I finished my DX utility library and saved it as a .lib file (static library), then I added another project to my solution (lets call this the test project). So I have the winmain function in my Test project and it tries to include "DXUtil.h" (the main header file for the lib) and I also have DXLib.lib set under my linkers additional dependencies/inputs section but I keep getting the C1083 "DXUtil.h file not found fatal error"... I don't know what Im doing wrong and I would sure hate to lose too much time for the competition to just this stupid formating issue... ------------------ If you can see Chuck Norris, He can see You.

The error is that it can't find the include file "DXUtil.h" ------------------ If you can see Chuck Norris, He can see You. If you Can't see Chuck Norris, you may be seconds away from death.

Make sure the relative path to your DXUtil.h file is in the Additional Include Directories entry. ------------------ Brian "OOP programmers have a lot of class"
Jari Member Posts: 1471 From: Helsinki, Finland Registered: 03-11-2005	Luke I know But there is a difference between using <> and "". If you use the <> then it will be searched from the "Additional Include Directories" which Mack is talking about. I could be wrong though, it's been a while. ------------------ 2Co 7:10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

Im goin to school now so I'll look up those settings (Im pretty sure that the error is somewhere in the settings) Although, the solution file is is folder x, and my lib and main are two separate projects which are in subfolders of folder x. Do yuou know how to refer to the folder above a certain folder w/o going through C:\Docum... I think it involves /\ ------------------ If you can see Chuck Norris, He can see You.

Briant Member Posts: 742 From: Stony Plain, Alberta, Canada Registered: 01-20-2001	The folder above is "..". So you'll need something like: "..\DXUtil" in your Additional Include Directories. ------------------ Brian "OOP programmers have a lot of class" Check out this webhost!
