Question

In MSVS when I #include <someHeader> it is searched in a different folder than the headers included with #include "someheader". Same thing should be in xcode, but it seems that it does not work. Because of this I have conflicts with local headers that have same name as std headers(String.h, etc) and I can’t include std headers. I tried to change project option "Always search user paths" but it still does not work. The help message from this options says that it will solve my problem, but…

If enabled, both #include
<header.h>-style and #include
"header.h"-style directives will
search the paths in "User Header
Search Paths" before "Header Search
Paths", with the consequence that user
headers (such as your own String.h
header) would have precedence over
system headers when using #include
<header.h>. This is done using the
-iquote flag for the paths provided in "User Header Search Paths". If
disabled and your compiler fully
supports separate user paths, user
headers will only be accessible with

include "header.h"-style preprocessor directives.

For backwards compatibility reasons,
this setting is enabled by default,
but disabling it is strongly
recommended.
[ALWAYS_SEARCH_USER_PATHS]

Do you have any idea how to solve this? I really don’t want to change my header files names or to remove search paths from project settings and use relative paths to local files (../../ … /SomeFolder/SomeHeader.h).

I solved the problem by changing all headers extension from h to hpp… It’s not a real solution, but I kept the file names and I solved the problem, for now:)
