#include <stdio.h>

[SONYFX]

normally <stdio.h> is in the C directory, what if it is in the D directory?

I tried:

#include <D:/stdio.h>, but it doesn't work, can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

Hint: you aren't supposed to know or care where the standard library headers are located in the filesystem.

Includes usually go by the include path within your IDE. If you are compiling command line they go by the path you specify there. Change or add to the include path in your development software.

Your code should remain unchanged - after all stdio.h could be on Z: for some other system it's compiled on!

ya, but my file system is in the wrong directory, I can't compile any program, it will say "can't find stdio.h".

I am using VS .NET, where can I change the path? Thanks!

Not sure I follow.

What does your include path say in your development environment (NOT to be confused with your program).

?

What are you compiling with anyway?

 

[Smilin]

Not sure. Don't have VS .net in front of me. Poke around either in options or project options. You can probably find out in about 2 min in the helpfile.

Try #include <stdio.h>

<> means look where the compiler normal keeps them. "" means look in the realitive file pathe from here.

Not sure if you're using 2002 or 2003, but in 2003 you go to Tools / Options / Projects / VC++ Directories. Change the "Show directories for:" dropdown to "Include files", then add the path to your header files.

You could also use the PATH command to tell the compiler a different place to look for the header files, although they might only be applicable to the libraries or compiler files. Never deviated from the recommended directories, so I wouldn't know.
