define and include

[mr]

Hi

i try to do something like that:

#define PATH "mydir"

#include "PATH/myfile.h"

I would like to compiler to do :

#include "mydir/myfile.h"


But it doesn't work :)
And i can't find a way to make it work...

Is it a way?

thanks you very much
(Note: i don't want to just add the path to 'standard include path', i
really want to have it working the way i said above, if it's possible of
course :) )

You can do something like:

#define FILE "mydir/myfile.h"
#include FILE

I don't know if concatenation of string literals works in #include
directives, like:

#define PATH "mydir"
#include PATH "/myfile.h"

You could do string concatenation in the preprocessor with ##.

But what you are asking cannot be done, since #include is
also a preprocessor command and the #include parameter
will not be changed by the preprocessor.

I think your compiler has a "add include directory" command. In gcc:
gcc -I/home/heltena/src/myIncludeDir module.c
( _i_, not L)

And, when I try to compile this:
#include <joseph.h>
int main() { return 0; }

The compiler looks for a "joseph.h" file in "/usr/include" (and others
standard directories) and then it tries
"/home/heltena/src/myIncludeDir".

bye!
