[Solved] Cross-project #include error [message #903152]

I have two projects, an executable and a static library, each with their own source folder. There are many instances of a file from one being #included from the other:

When I try to compile either project, it finds header files from the other project ok, but fails when they in turn include a file from this project.

==================================

Edit: This wasn't a CDT problem, I needed to add the path to 'this project' to the includes.

hi,

I had similar problems building a project. For some time everything worked well. But then with some changes I got error messages that header files cannot be found and so on.

My solution was to switch to cmake. I had to learn how to use it but then cmake did the job - with some help of some friends Smile

Thanks, but we already have a makefile working for this project, and I'm required to convert it to Eclipse.

Anyone else know any ways to get this working via Eclipse? I'd rather not have a pre-build step that copies the entire contents of two projects to a new folder if I can avoid it!
