Hi everyone,
I'm working on a rather huge C++ project, which encompasses a number of custom headers (.hpp) and namespaces. I've been given this project so I didn't start it myself.
Now, when building the project, the g++ compiler complains about missing headers and a namespace name not recognised. This happens only with few files, not in every where those headers are included or the namespace is used.
Specifically, there's a directory called 'ff' which contains various .hpp headers which I use. I added this directory ( and all subdirectories ) to the include path. Most of the headers contained in such directory are used throughout the project and are properly found, except for a couple of them, which I checked and are actually there!
#include "ff/farm.hpp"
#include "ff/lb.hpp"
#include "ff/gt.hpp"
#include "ff/node.hpp"
About namespace, there is just one .cpp file, where I use the command
which actually exists, but the compiler complains with: "expected namespace-name before ';' token". Notice that I also use that namespace somewhere else in the project and there it is ok.
Worst, sometimes in the same .cpp file - maybe only few rows below - functions like "gettimeofday(&time_misuration, NULL);" are marked either as "not declared in this scope" or are just fine!
I've been struggling with this for days now, and I tried everything I knew that could solve the problem: rebuild indexes, clean and rebuild the project, check and re-check paths and toolchain. The problem is still there.
Help! Help! Help!

You need to add to the include path the folder above "ff". The compiler will look for header files in $INCLUDE_PATH/$_YOUR_INCLUDE_DIRECTIVE.
This is driving me crazy! actually, the folder above "ff" is the root folder of the project. Anyway I added it to the include path and this solved the problem.
But, it triggered other errors, like the compiler can't reference some boost libraries.
like this;
#include <boost/program_options.hpp>
namespace po = boost::program_options;
...
po::options_description desc("Allowed options");
the last statement gives an error "undefined reference to boost::program_options::options_description::options_description", together with a number of other similar errors which weren't there before.
not to mention other "undefined references" to functions which were fine before!
