RE: [Dev-C++] include files those with a .h?

[James G. <Jam...@Cl...>]

Quoted form - This form instructs the preprocessor to look for include files
in the same directory of the file that contains the #include statement, and
then in the directories of whatever files that include (#include) that file.
The preprocessor then searches along the path specified by the /I compiler
option, then along paths specified by the INCLUDE environment variable. 

Angle-bracket form - This form instructs the preprocessor to search for
include files first along the path specified by the /I compiler option, then
along the path specified by the INCLUDE environment variable. 

So the only difference is that the <> does not search the source directory,
"" does.

Regards,

James.

Subject: [Dev-C++] include files those with a .h?


ok i've got my dev cpp ver 4.0 ready to boogy with!

cos i'm a novice at the moment bear with me..simple questions first.

all the include files for a program end with .h  correct?

so when you compile a program and it has errors saying it can not find the
.h files you have them stored on the hard drive in the wrong place!

So saying that do all the include files have to be in the dev cpp include
directory?  or is there a simpler easier way to go about it?
