relative paths in VS 2003?

[Joe]

Hi, can someone tell me how to set up relativ paths in VS2003 C++ ? I have
some source with a tree directory structure that segments include files in
various directories:

#include "../include/config.h" /* Keep this first */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
#include "../include/complex.h"
#include "../include/su3.h"

Can someone tell me how to set up vc++ for this? I basically set up vc++ to
open a new project with location in the directory where the main.cpp is
held. It is from there that the include relative paths should be taken from.
But vc++ doesnt seem to recognise them:

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: '../include/config.h': No such
file or directory

can someone tell me how to fix this?

On another nots, where have the project options gone to? I was on a earlier
version of vc++ and have moved onto 2003. Things are a little differennt.

thanks!
Joe

Relative paths will be tried relative to all the paths listed in the
Tools|Options|VC++ Directories|Include paths as well as Additiional Include
paths set in project properties, and relative to the location of the source
file containing the #include directive.

Property properties. What were you looking for in particular?

Hi Joe,
I usually add different folders in the Include file path pane of the project
properties. Then you can just specify header file name in quotes (w/o rel
path) and things will compile.
