External C Headers

I'm trying (and failing) to create header files (and the respective .c files) for functions I may want to use in any project, eg: Generic.h and Generic.c for readInRange, readPositive, etc.

Let's admit I have the following file structure:
D:\MyFuncs\Generic.h
D:\MyFuncs\Generic.c
D:\MyProject\src\main.c

What do I have to do so that I can #include "Generic.h"?
I don't want to copy it to the project directory, because that would defeat the purpose of having a "functions database" for anything I might need: from simple printing or handling user input, to CRC calculations and USART serial comms for my AVR.

I'm using Code::Blocks on Windows 7, by the way.

Learn how to use the command line to add more include directories.

I use Code::Blocks because I don't want to mess with the command line - kills productivity.

[spoiler]Out.

#include "D:/MyFuncs/Generic.h"

That's horribly ugly and doesn't even work.

But I just tried it with a header in K:/ an it worked perfectly.

Is that header related to a .c file or is it just a variable declaration?

Ah, here we go. At first it did just define a macro. Now I got this to work:

"K:/Programs/test.h"

#ifndef TEST_H
#define TEST_H

#define STRING "Hello World!"

void PrintSomething();

#endif





"K:/Programs/test.c"

#include "K:/Programs/test.h"

void PrintSomething()
{
    puts(STRING);
}


test4.c somewhere else

#include "K:/Programs/test.h"

int main()
{
    PrintSomething();
   
    return 0;
}

But the trick to make it work:
Command Line
C:\>%gcc% test4.c K:/Programs/test.c -o test4

C:\>test4
Hello World!

C:\>

Again, #include "FULLPATH" is horrible and highly... unreliable.

You can also try "../highershit.c" to include shit in the higher dirs, but needless to say its very ugly and im not sure if it even works.

Well. Unless you use some macros or #include relative to your program each time, it can't be helped.

god this thread is dumb

Add the directories to your include search path. Usually you add -I or /I to the command line. If you use an IDE look under your project settings.
