Relative paths to include files in Eclipse CDT
The structure is like this:
subsystem
sub_dir
sub_dir
...
new_sub_dir_for _unit_test_which_includes_eclipse_workspace
Debug <=== this, I think, being ${workspace_loc}
or is the parent directory ${workspace_loc}?
(since it contains .project and .cproject)
test_cases
stubs
file_1.c
file_1.h
file_1.c
file_1.h
...
software_under_test.c
software_under_test.h
software_under_test.c
says #include "../somefile.h"
it is obviously outside of this subsystem.
When I set up my include path with Properties/C & C++ general/paths and symbols
, I cannot use a relative path, just an absolute one, which I don’t want to do as I want others to be able to build this project on their machines and the start of the path can vary for each user.
I've tried adding ${workspace_loc}../
variations of it as well, but I can't seem to get it to work.
What am I doing wrong?

Are you using the variables parameter while viewing the location?
When adding the path to the include file in the CDT project (Project Properties / C / C ++ General / Paths and Symbols) there are 3 options for finding the location:
- Variables
- Workspace
- File system
Select the "Workspace" option, the path will refer to the workspace / project. Select the "Variables" option, you will be able to use variables such as ${WorkspaceDirPath}
. You should be able to even reference environment variables.
