The files live in a unix system - people compile using a samba share, so that the files appear to be on a locally attached PC drive. However, when we have problems with samba (as we do from time to time) they need to access these include files via a network link. So, the path to #include B is coded something like #include "S:/test/includeb" and this no longer works when accessed via a network link as the S: drive is no longer available. Via the network link the path would be something like \fstest1testincludeb How can I change the call to include B so that it works in both cases?

Please in the future consider asking in the newsgroup dedicated to your compiler. <offtopic> You need to figure out the common part (seems like "includeb" is it) and keep it: #include <includeb> And you need to give the compiler a hint where to find that file (-I compiler switch, e.g.). So, when Samba works, you need to say cl -I"S:test" ... and when it doesn't you say cl -I"\fstest1test" Of course, it's better done using a make file or a project file that sets some kind of environment variable... </offtopic> V Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         C++Talk.NET Forum Index -> C++ language (comp.lang.c++) All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C/C++----------------C LanguageC Language (Moderated)C++ Language (Moderated)C++ language (comp.lang.c++)C++ language, library and standards Non-English C/C++ Newsgroups----------------C++ (German)C++ (French)  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
