embedded directory paths

[David]

I have an #include file (A) that calls another #include file (B) -
including the directory path that it is to be found on.

The files live in a unix system - people compile using a samba share,
so that the files appear to be on a locally attached PC drive.
However, when we have problems with samba (as we do from time to time)
they need to access these include files via a network link.

So, the path to #include B is coded something like #include
"S:/test/includeb" and this no longer works when accessed via a
network link as the S: drive is no longer available. Via the network
link the path would be something like \\fstest1\test\includeb

How can I change the call to include B so that it works in both cases?

This is off-topic. Please in the future consider asking in the newsgroup
dedicated to your compiler.

You need to figure out the common part (seems like "includeb" is it)
and keep it:

#include <includeb>

And you need to give the compiler a hint where to find that file
(-I compiler switch, e.g.). So, when Samba works, you need to say

cl -I"S:\test" ...

and when it doesn't you say

cl -I"\\fstest1\test"

Of course, it's better done using a make file or a project file that sets
some kind of environment variable...
