Hi people:

I used to program in C++ with vim, but now want to make a shift to Netbeans. I typically work with Makefile projects (a tar.gz package containing source code and Makefile). I imported the project into Netbeans but have the following problem:

In the Makefile project: in source file, say, main.cc, I have

I am running through a couple of tutorials on C compilation with Netbeans. Whatever I do, I cannot convince Netbeans to grasp even the most simple paths to the files. The only solution that works is to put the header file in the same physical folder as the cpp files. Then everything works well.

So, there seem to be a serious weakness i the C module of Netbeans, given all those questions of similar nature on the net.

Header files are not found by Netbeans!

I just wonder; is this C/C++ module in use at all ? Spending "days" on trying to setup a simple path seems like a cold wind from the days of old.

If anyone has a waterproof remedy, then many thanks beforehand. I am using NB 7+ on Win7, mostly for Java and Android (in which context NB is just perfect!).

cheers

UPDATE: YES, THE NETBEANS FEATURE: RIGHT CLICK PROPERTIES\BUILD\C COMPILER\INCLUDE DIRECTORIES DOES NOT WORK. PATHS ARE NOT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT BY COMPILER. HEADER FILES ARE NOT FOUND, REGARDLESS. THIS MODULE NEEDS REVISION!

HOWEVER, FOR ANYONE ELSE WITH THIS PROBLEM, I GOT AROUND IT BY INCLUDING HEADER FILES IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER:

#INCLUDE "SUBFOLDER/SUBSUBFOLDER/MYHEADERFILE.H"

INSTEAD OF JUST WRITING

#INCLUDE "MYHEADERFILE.H"

...............

I am new to this forum, so; How to ensure that bugs are put into someones TODO list ? Also, is there a responsible for this C module that I can speak to about these things ?
