#126 Include files relative from source file directory.

[Anonymous]

This is not a bug but a design issue. The documentation is aware of this.

I think searching include files in the directory from which the assembler was called is not a good feature, mainly because this complicates the creation of single-project makefiles that don't recurse into the sources' directories.

BTW, there is a simple workaround for this on makefiles. Still, the majority of C compilers search quoted includes on the source's directory by default and nasm should do the same thing.

NASM can not add the path of the input file name to the include file path,
because standard C doesn't provide a means for extracting or obtaining the
path component of a file name. In fact, such a means would be incompatible
with certain operating systems. (Thus it is up to the user to provide a -I
option which replicates the path that is part of the input file name.)
