Chaps, Is that some different way in which g++ needs path information for the source cpp & header file to get compiled. I am trying to compile a code with GCC. Since it is c++ code. It appears g++ is automatically get invoked So while the gcc is okay but g++ compliains about no file or directory error I copy the file and put in same location from where I am running the makefile. This seems to work but now all the system header files that are listed in that cpp file is missing as per g++!!! I don't think it is goo idea to copy all system or no system header files in same folder to get g++ work. Thier should be some way to let g++ know the path At the moment in my standard makefile I am using flag -I to include header files any suggestion /thoughts are apprictiated -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/gcc-seems-okay-but-g%2B%2B-not-able-to-get-path-to-compile-tp29732952p29732952.html Sent from the gcc - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
