Header path correct but "File not Found" [message #1862233]

I created a new C managed project.
I imported working software that builds with no errors on a command line.

Problem is when I build in Eclipse ..
.. I get "file not found" for the 1st header:

#include "Folder/Header.h"

Since the gcc command line shows it is run from a build folder (Debug in this case) ..
.. if I edit to this:

#include "../Folder/Header.h"

.. it finds that one and errors on the next.

I modified the C/C++ General - Paths and Symbols - includes (GNC) to have:

Folder/
../Folder/

.. but no joy.

What is the correct folder hierarchy to make this work?

I don't know about includes with the folder paths already in them, but for includes with no paths you have to manually add include paths in the project properties.

Right click the project in Project Explorer. At the bottom of the menu, select Properties.

Then open C/C++ Build > Settings. Select the Tool Settings tab, open GCC C Compiler (assuming that's what you have) and select Includes.

Use the page [+] button to add paths from your project.

I don't know why these can't be scanned (I've used other Eclipsed based tools which automatically included project folders), but the native CDT requires doing this manually.

So, even if you have some folder paths in your #includes, you might need the project root folder, or some others defined this way.
