Question

Sorry for posting such a lowly beginner’s question, but I just still don’t know my way around Visual Studios yet. I’m trying to compile a code in C++ Visual Studios:

#include "Banana.h"

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    fruit::Banana banana;
    banana.dance();
    return 0;
}

and I’m getting an error

fatal error C1083: Cannot open
include file: ‘Banana.h’: No such
file or directory

But in the Solution Explorer under the project that I’m working with there is a source folder labeled “fruit/Header Files” and within that folder is “Banana.h”. I thought that everything in the source folders within the same project were automatically on the source path. What gives?

Answer 1

You will need to configure additional include paths. If you go to the Project Properties, you’ll find it under Configuration Properties, C/C++ at the top.
