I was trying to separate my header files (.h) from my (.cpp) implementation by storing them in two different source folders. However, Eclipse then tells the compiler to look for the .h file in the same folder as the .cpp file. This causes the compiler to stop as it can't find the specified file. Is there any way to create such folders in Eclipse and get around this issue?
In visual studio there is separate folder for header files so can we make a separate folder for header files in Eclipse CDT too?

So, I'm new to cmake and have some troubles. I have simple cmake project that contains a few .h and .c files. I've searched C code at github which consists of only one .h and one .c files. And i want to use some functions from this pack, but i don't want to put this file in my project directory. I want to keep them somewhere outside the project directory. So, how to connect them to project, how to make header visible for project and use #include "name.h" for watching and
and using available C functions .c/.h pack in my project.
Create some other directory in your project, such as misc/ and put the files there. Then use it in your code via "/misc/name.h"
As it's described in the title, I would like to make Visual Studio detect a .cpp file which is in a subfolder. (It's a C++ project.)
My program automatically creates new .cpp files and .h files, but when it creates a new .cpp, it doesn't detect the .cpp file in the subfolder of the project. Even if I restart the project/program.
What could I do to make it automatic?
Does an instruction exist to tell Visual Studio/or the program to compile this .cpp file ?
Does every .cpp file have to be in the same folder? I could do it that way, but it would be more organized if the different files are in different folders.
So I didn't find any solutions, but I've ask severals persons, and they told me that I might have to change by hand some files automactly created by Visual studio to tell them to include a specific .cpp file. But to identify which file I've to change and if I can open them as a txt file ect.. It was too much work, then I've decided to change my project.
Thanks for your help ! And I hope this will give you a little taste of what you have to do if you have the same problem
I'm doing my assignment that need to using the #include function
but I found that after I define the header file, I cannot open the header file in the main.cpp
and I also didn't find any xxx.h file in the project file
here is the situation
The reason of search.h can open is I found that in external dependencies file, there is a search.h, but the search.h I want to open is not the search.h in external dependencies file
You don't have header files in your project. Create the header files xxx.h in the project directory. So the compiler will be able to locate them.
If the person who gave you the project has provided you the header files along with the project requirements then, just copy and paste the xxx.h files into the project directory. This would solve your problem.

How to add header files in Visual Studio 2010 - Youtube
It looks like you don't have any header files included in your project. Visual Studio is attempting to find the header files in the header directory of your project but it cannot find any. Save your header files into separate files and add them to your header directory in the project. Then you should not have any problem.
I'm working to create my own c++ library. I've noticed that I have to add my source file to Compile Sources under Build Phases in Xcode if I include the header file. Obviously, I don't have to go find every Boost or Curl file that I use when including one of those header files.
Currently, my "library" consists of a few header file and source files in the same folder. I have added the path to find the header files to header search paths.
What's the difference between what I'm writing and the standard libraries that only need header file references?
I'm adding unit tests (SenTest) to my existing XCode 4.2 project. XCode is complaining that it can't find the required Box2D header files. For instance,
Box2D/Dynamics/b2Fixture.h file not found
The Box2D source files are added to my project under the "libs" group. The header files are found without a problem when building the non-test target. Obviously, I can't add the header files to the test target, but I've added all of Box2D's .cpp files to that target. That just resulted in more of the "Lexical or Preprocessor Issue"s, as above.
How do I tell XCode where to find these header files?
I don't believe you need to specify the folder when referencing a .h file. If only the .h file is added to the project in any group or subgroup XCode is able to find the path when you reference the .h file by the name only.
