adding my include file

Ok I have managed to do the following:

on main program added:

#include "My_Settings.h"

in the My_settings.h written:

#ifndef MY_SETTINGS_H_

#define MY_SETTINGS_H_

#define RIGHT 0.22 // this is my variable

#endif /* MY_SETTINGS_H_ */

And in Build settings added:

Now I get this error:

>> Compilation failure

Does any one know why ?

Thanks,

Roee,

You will need to add the location of the file to the list of places that the compiler searches.

Try going into the project properties and add the path to "My_Settings.h" to the include path list.

Right click on your project in the Project Explorer and select properties.

Click on include options in the tree on the left under the compiler.

Then click the add button

I like to use variables instead of absolute paths.  If the .h file is inside your project you can click on the workspace button.

Then select your project

The dialog will then look like this.  If the file is in a sub folder you could just add \path at the end

Click OK.

Now it should find the file when compiling.

John

Hi Jhon
Thanks now it finds it but gives an error:

The file My_Settings.h is:
#ifndef MY_SETTINGS_H_
#define MY_SETTINGS_H_

#define RIGHT 0.22



#endif /* MY_SETTINGS_H_ */


do I need to add variable :
MY_SETTINGS_H_
?
Thanks,

I hadn't seen your second post when I made my reply.

I wouldn't setup that variable MY_SETTINGS_H_ in the project variables. It shouldn't be causing the build error but you don't need it. When creating a new header file the editor puts those #ifndef filename_H_H... lines in the template to prevent redefinitions. You don't need to define a variable in your project for it. Basically the variables in the project are used when you want to swap in a value for one of the items (typically a path) being passed to the compiler.

I don't see what is wrong with tyour My_Settings.h file.

I tweaked one of my files to look like this and it still builds ok:
#ifndef MAIN_H_
#define MAIN_H_

#define RIGHT 0.22

#endif /* MAIN_H_ */


I am downloading MotorWare now and see if I can setup exactly what you have.

Thanks this is strange.
This is just a define that I have moved from the "proj_lab11d.c" to the "My_Settings.h" (just to control it from different file) - is this a problem ??
This is not related to "MotorWare"
Another question please:
When I do an File-> Archive to the project, and trying to open it in new workspace some of the project files (From Motorware) are missing.
What is the best way to Archive everything include all files -> so I will be able to open it as stand alone in another computer ?
Thanks,
Roee

Ok I have succeeded to solve the My_Settings.h
What I did is the following:

1. Added directory to the project called it "Mine"
2. In This directory I have added the "My_Settings.h" file
3. in the main program added this:
#include "Mine/My_Settings.h"

And now this is working and compiling OK with values from "My_Settings"

but I still don't know how to make the EXPORT correct, since when openning it in new workspace files are missing
Why ? and how to make this correct

Thanks,
Roee

Roee,

I imported the proj_lab11d project into my workspace. I don't see any #define in the proj_lab11d.c file. Can you send me your .c and the .h?

In general it is fine to move a #define from .c file into a .h file as long as the .c file includes the .h prior to the item being used.


I will reply to the export question in the other thread.

Regards,
John

The #define are mine
They are not original in this project - I have added them according my needs.
Therefore you don't have them by default
Thanks,
Roee
