How to add directory to include path in visual c++?

Question

This question should be is trivial enough but i didn't find answer. I have the following hierarchy:

source.cpp
thirdparty
- Include
  - pelib
    - PeLib.h
  - test.cpp

I need to include "pelib/PeLib.h". If I add $(ProjectDir)/thirdparty/Include to include directories I can only #include "test.cpp" but can't #include "pelib/PeLib.h".

Should work with `#include ` – Borgleader Apr 14 '15 at 19:44 — Borgleader, Apr 14 '15 at 19:44
btw. .cpp files aren't meant to be included. – Axalo Apr 14 '15 at 19:49 — Axalo, Apr 14 '15 at 19:49

According to this answer (thanks @umläute) your code should work. My guess is you variable $(ProjectDir) is not pointing the directory you think.

Try adding the full path to your thirdparty/Include to include directories and try again.

this is a bit misleading: `"incl.h"` is searched for in the relative path and then (as fallback) in the include-path. check [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21593/) – umläute Apr 14 '15 at 20:05
