this may sound too simple, but I’m missing something. I need to write a RAPI Windows Console app using C++. I’m currently using VS2005. I’ve created a brand new empty Windows Consol app “MyTestRAPI” from documentation, I know I need the include of the “RAPI.H” file. So, I’ve tried as
#include <rapi.h>
and also by
#include "rapi.h"
I compile and get the following
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: ‘rapi.h’: No such file or directory
So, I then go to menu for “Project”, “Properties”. On the treeview for “Common Properties” -> “References”, I go to the lower right and click on “Add Path”, and include the explicit path where the rapi.h file and other .h files are located… in this case
“C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK\Activesync\Inc”
which include 14 .h files
Save / build the project, and still compile error…
So, I change the #include to
#include "C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK\Activesync\Inc\rapi.h"
This time, it finds THIS include, but fails on finding the #includes within the rapi.h which also reside in the same folder.
What is it that I’m missing that appears to elude me.
Thanks
The “Common Properties” -> “References” field refers to .NET assembly references.
To add a path to the C++ #include search path, you need to use “Configuration Properties” -> “C/C++” -> “General” -> “Additional Include Directories”.
