As I use a linter that uses gcc I want to include some files from tensorflow into my linter config so that gcc can find them. For some reason it's not very clear to me how I can achieve this. My projectstructure looks like this
Path to my project root dir:
tensorflow/tensorflow/my-classifier
Path to some other c++ .h files from tensorflow:
tensorflow/tensorflow/cc/**
tensorflow/tensorflow/core/**
In my project root dir I have i.e. a file that includes a tensorflow header file like this:
#include "tensorflow/core/framework/tensor.h"
So gcc will somehow search:
PROJECT_ROOT/tensorflow/core/framework/tensor.h
As I use bazel to build, this files will later be included into the build and the compiler will find it without any problem.
But how can I get those files included into gcc for linting purposes?
I tried it using these gcc include flags without any success:
-I../core/**
-I../cc/**
and the absoulte path.
Can someone give me a hint how the right configuration for this would be?

I am trying to compile a program that uses rocksdb.
According to the example in the official webpage, the only header i should add to my code is db.h.
Now, the file i am compiling is in folder A.
db.h however is in A/rocksdb-master/include/rocksdb/.
So, i add this line to my file:
#include "rocksdb-master/include/rocksdb"
It finds the file, but the problem is that inside db.h, i have this line:
#include "rocksdb/metadata.h"
And when i compile i get this error:
fatal error: rocksdb/metadata.h: No such file or directory
#include "rocksdb/metadata.h"
I mean, it's obvious. db.h is in the same folder as metadata.h, so it's fine that the compiler cant find any rocksdb folder. But i doubt that people who wrote this library don't know that.
Is there any other way to add the path's to compile it?
Why is it that the path from db.h are not relative to where it is located?
You should normally use just the following header in your project:
#include "rocksdb/db.h"
When compiling your own project, you should then add the RocksDB include path to the list of include directories. For example, if the RocksDB source code is in directory ../rocksdb-master, the include path will be ../rocksdb-master/include.
How to add the include path to the compiler flags is indeed compiler-specific. With g++ or clang, it's done by passing -I../rocksdb-master/include to the compiler when compiling your own program. Note that you many need to link against the RocksDB library as well.
And finally, you may need to include some more RocksDB headers if you use some of its advanced concepts, e.g. transactions.
i have two folders named Source and powerserver in my home directory. In source direectory i have some code related to project and it uses a .h header file from power server directory. when am compiling using make -f somename.lnx32 I am getting the below error.
error: cst.h no such file or directory.
I am new to this i dont know how to access that .h file ?
GCC looks in several different places for headers. On a normal Unix system, if you do not instruct it otherwise, it will search in default directories.
You can add directories to this list with the -I command-line option. All the directories named by -I are searched, in left-to-right order, before the default directories.
Try gcc -c -I/path_to_powerserver_directory to include header files in GCC search path.
Currently this particular header file is not found to gcc in it's search paths.
It's tagged Linux so i guess you use GCC.
#include <someheader.h> means to search someheader.h in system directories (ie. /usr/include), which you can override using the -Ipath option with GCC.
But in your case, you should be using #include "someheader.h" with the correct user path in your Makefile with the -iquote option.
I installed OpenBlas and could compile C programs linked to OpenBlas by using
gcc testOpenBlas.c -I /opt/OpenBLAS/include/ -L/opt/OpenBLAS/lib -lopenblas
If I try to link c++ programs using g++ and the same linker options I get the error:
testOpenBlas.cpp:1:28: fatal error: OpenBlas/cblas.h: No such file or directory
#include <OpenBlas/cblas.h>
Any hints?
Here is what I did:
I had to recompile OpenBlas again with g++.
I found that the common.h file exists in the source folder, so I had to include it instead of the installation folder '/opt/OpenBlas'. I still use '-L/opt/OpenBLAS/lib' flag.
Then the problem was solved.
This include directive is looking for the path OpenBlas/cblas.h in all your include directories, in particular also in /opt/OpenBLAS/include/.
So the question is: does there exist a file /opt/OpenBLAS/include/OpenBlas/cblas.h?
Also I think you might have to specify the -I flag before the source file.
I am trying to compile the Dlib library in Eclipse, but have an error in linking.
According to: http://dlib.net/compile.html I have to include the path containing the dlib folder (that's what I did) and include the source file in my project: dlib/all/source.cpp.
I keep on getting the following error:
../source.cpp:7:41: fatal error: ../base64/base64_kernel_1.cpp: No such file or directory
This is a line from the source.cpp file. The directory looks like:
/usr/include/dlib-18.6/dlib/base64, If I add that path in my library I get the next error:
In function dlib::threads_kernel_shared_helpers::thread_starter(void*)':
/usr/include/dlib-18.6/dlib/base64/../threads/threads_kernel_2.cpp:37: undefined reference topthread_detach'
Do I have to keep adding paths after each error?
Why doesn't Eclipse just add all subpaths of my /usr/include/dlib-18.6/ (that's the path containing dlib and the it's the path I added)?
I think it depends a bit, on how you had setup your particular toolchain, to build your main/dlib project.
Building using e.g. GCC 4.8 (and using the -std=c++11 option) might require to specify the -pthread option on linking stage, other environments might want to link against -lpthread.
Ok, so it's been a while, and i'm having problems with #includes
So I'm doing
#include "someheader.h"
but it's giving me
fatal error: someheader.h: No such file or directory
It's a system wide library I guess you could say.
I'm running arch linux and I installed the library from the repo, and I think the .h files are in /usr/include.
I could just copy all the header files into the folder my code is in but that would be a hack.
What is the "right" way to do this?
Edit: I wasn't correct by saying the .h files were in /usr/include, what I meant was that the library folder was in there
So, Emile Cormier's answer worked to a certain extent.
The problem now is that there are some include in the header file and it seems from the methods I'm trying to access that those includes are not happening
it's giving my the error
undefined reference to Namespace::Class::method()
Edit:
Ok so the final answer is:
#include <library_name/someheader.h>
And compile with
g++ code.cpp -llibrary_name
Sometimes, header files for a library are installed in /usr/include/library_name, so you have to include like this:
#include <library_name/someheader.h>
Use your file manager (or console commands) to locate the header file on your system and see if you should prefix the header's filename with a directory name.
The undefined reference error you're getting is a linker error. You're getting this error because you're not linking in libsynaptics along with your program, thus the linker cannot find the "implementation" of the libsynaptics functions you're using.
If you're compiling from the command-line with GCC, you must add the -lsynaptics option to link in the libsynaptics library. If you're using an IDE, you must find the place where you can specify libraries to link to and add synaptics. If you're using a makefile, you have to modify your list of linker flags so that it adds -lsynaptics.
Also the -L <path_to_library> flag for the search path needs to be added, so the linker can find the library, unless it's installed in one of the standard linker search paths.
See this tutorial on linking to libraries with GCC.
You'd use #include <someheader.h> for header files in system locations.
#include "someheader.h" would try to include the file someheader.h in the directory of your .c file.
In addition to including the header file, you also need to link in the library, which is done with the -l argument:
g++ -Wall youprogram.cpp -lname_of_library
Not doing so is the reason for the "undefined reference .. " linker errors.
The quick fix is to do use:
#include <someheader.h>
assuming that someheader.h is in the standard include locations (to find it use the command locate someheader.h in a shell. If it is in /usr/include it is in a standard location. If it is in a subdirectory of /usr/include you only need to add the part of the directory up to /usr/include in the #include directive (e.g. #include <fancy_lib/someheader.h>)
However, this is only half of the story. You also will need to set up your build system in a way that locates the given library and adds its include path (the path under which it's header files are stored) to the compiler command (for gcc that is -I/path/to/header). That way you can also build with different versions by configuring them in your build system. If the library is not header-only you will also have to add it to the linker dependencies. How this is achieved in your build system is best found out by consulting its documentation.
