Can not include a header file

[yasin007]

Hi,

Iam bit new to C . I built a project in Visual C++,namely "Test" .

Then i created a folder under "Header Files",namely "layout" . Under this layout folder
i added "test.h" header file .

Then I added a sample.c file under "Source files" .This c file just tries to include the "test.h" header file .

So in C file , i put the syntax as #include "layout/test.h" .

When i save & compile this c file , its giving the following error.


fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'layout/test.h': No such file or directory
Error executing Test.exe.

Any help highly appreciated.

Hi Yasin,

Although it appears to be in the folders like layout etc, but these are just the logical divisions. So you cannot write layout/test.h etc.

Alll these folders are just a way to divide your files in logical groups. These do not actully exist in the file system. That is the reason why it is unable to find the layout/test.h. So just write include "test.h". This shall work.

Hope this works.
