Hi,
I'm writing a C++ program, with .H and .C files. In the .C file (called BezierEdge.C) I have:

Code:
#include<BezierEdge.H>

and then, BezierEdge.H is in the same folder. No matter what I do, it will not find the header file unless I do:

Code:
#include</Users/gtaubman/Desktop/VSim/BezierEdge.H>

I feel like that's ridiculous, and I've never had to do that on other platforms, and I remember not having to do that in other programs I've written in OS X. Help! What am I doing that's so stupid!

Incase it matters, I'm using Makefile builds, and the output of a successful compile looks like this:

Code:
g++ -g -DCG_ENABLED -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wformat -Wparentheses -Wpointer-arith -Woverloaded-virtual    -c BezierEdge.C 
g++ -g -DCG_ENABLED -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wformat -Wparentheses -Wpointer-arith -Woverloaded-virtual    -c ViolaSimMain.C 

g++ -o ViolaSim -g -DCG_ENABLED -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wformat -Wparentheses -Wpointer-arith -Woverloaded-virtual  BezierEdge.o ViolaSimMain.o -framework OpenGL -framework GLUT -lobjc

Gabe,

I just started on C++ myself, but one of the first mistakes I made was naming my files .c and .h. For some reason I had thought that you could keep those extensions, but I guess the compiler often gets confused interpreting C++ code unless you're using .hpp and .cpp (or .cc).

Use quotes instead of angle brackets.

Code:
#include "BezierEdge.H"

To expand on this, only use the <> symbols for standard libraries. You can find these libraries in /usr/include

For example, #include <sys/time.h> would be found in the /usr/include/sys/ directory.

Use the "" symbols for non-standard libraries (which are usually in the same dir as the source you are compiling.
