Why can't gcc find the include path using -I option?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}







-1















here's my project tree



project  
--bin
--source
----include
------foo.h
----main.c
----foo.c


but when I run gcc -I./source/include ./bin/main.exe ./source/*.c it gave me No such file or directory error.

How can I let gcc know where's the include directory?

  • Since you are passing relative paths, make sure you cd to project before calling gcc.

You need to run gcc with the -o option to set the output location.



gcc -I./source/include -o ./bin/main.exe ./source/*.c
