Compiling with custom header files

[CJason]

This is probably a pretty simple question...but, please bear with me

First, the issue:
I have a lot of .c files that all include a lot of custom .h files. Currently, in order to build my system, all the .h files must be in the same location as the .c files. Ideally, I was hoping that these .h files could reside in a "library" that the compiler could use to make it so the .h files do NOT have to reside in the same directory as the .c files...but, I don't "think" that will work.

Please help:
If someone could give me a list of options of what I can do with not having to have these .h files in the same directory as the .c files, I'd appreciate it!!

Thanks in advance!

That depends on which compiler you're using.
If you're using a UNIX make file, there's a path to search for header files. In Visual C++ it's in the Project Settings...
