How do I get Slickedit to find my #include files?

[timur]

I'm using Slickedit to work on the Linux kernel, which keeps all header files in the include/ directory.  So if I want to include a header file, I need to make sure I don't specify the "include/" part.  That is:

#include <linux/string.h>

Includes the file include/linux/string.h

It seems to me that Slickedit understands the #include directive and wants to help me find header files, but that doesn't seem to work.  How do I tell it that all header files are under include/ ?

Searching the help files got me nowhere.

I'm guessing here, but it rings a bell.

Under Project Properties, Directories tab.  In the includes, do you have /include/ ?  From there, it should find the includes you're working with.

I assume from your post that

Code: [Select]

#include </include/linux/string.h> is not permitted. What about

Code: [Select]

#include <./linux/string.h>?

Sorry if this is an obtuse question, but what is the specific behavior you are after? Is this issue about completing your #include statement as you type or is it about tagging and navigation?

I am under the impression that when I type in

#include <lin

That Slickedit can fill in the "ux" part for me and change that into

#include <linux/

Maybe I'm imagining things, but I could have sworn I was able to do this once.  It's a sort of "tab completion" for #include statements.

Check your setting for "List include files after typing #include"

Jim is correct that the include paths it uses are based on the include directories configured for the current project, as well as the C++ compiler include directories.
