MinGW cannot find relative paths

	MinGW cannot find relative paths by Stephen Morris-4 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I have an application which uses a large number of different header files, which are referenced according to relative paths. None of the paths have spaces; an example is: #include "../../JoystickWidgets/AbstractJoystick/abstractjoystick.h" When I compile the project using Microsoft C++, it compiles perfectly. When compiling the exact same source files with MinGW, however, it fails at certain points in the compile process emitting errors of the form: "../../JoystickWidgets/AbstractJoystick/abstractjoystick.h: No such file or directory" Moreover, I can sometimes get rid of an error by expanding the path; for example, if I get the error above, it can go away if I put: #include "../../../CustomWidgets/JoystickWidgets/AbstractJoystick/abstractjoystick.h" ...but then I might get a new error from a different file with a similar include statement. Note that: 1) The errors are emitted while the corresponding .cpp files are being compiled; it seems to be the compiler itself which is having trouble with the paths, not the makefile. 2) The issue is only seen when I compile the full project; the errors are not seen when compiling smaller subsets of it, or when compiling complete smaller projects from the same source files. I am using MinGW 3.4.5 (which came bundled with Qt Creator 2009.03) under Vista SP2. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4578 (20091106) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

First, see whether this helps you: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/IncludePathHOWTO If not, then the next step is to post a minimal self-contained test case so that others can easily reproduce the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Trouble is, the problem only appears when I try to compile the full application; when I compile smaller subsets of it the errors don't occur, even though I'm using exactly the same source files in exactly the same directory structure. I'll see if I can reproduce this myself an XP and/or Linux box (with plain gcc) in the next few days; that may tell me whether it's specific to Vista or to MinGW, or an underlying gcc issue. __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4580 (20091106) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

I see the same problem if I try to compile with MinGW on Windows XP, but with g++ 4.3.1 under Linux (OpenSuse 11.1) the same source code with the same makefile compiles without error. So, as the source code compiles cleanly with MSVC under Windows or g++ under Linux, but not with MinGW under either Vista or XP, it does seem to be a specific MinGW issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
