Let's say I have a project directory where it has an include folder that has headers files (.hpp) and a src folder (.cpp). I am using visual studio code. How can I instead of writing #include "../include/Person.hpp" write #include "Person.hpp"? My project has a structure like this:

project-name
     |
     |--src -- Main.cpp & Person.cpp
     |
     |--include -- Person.hpp

My Person.cpp has the implementations of Person.hpp. My main file looks like this:

#include <iostream>
#include "../include/Person.hpp"
int main() {
    Person p("Allison");
    std::cout << p.name << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

    It looks like you need to add the include paths twice: once in c_cpp_properties.json for intellisense and once in tasks.json for the compiler to build it. Commented Nov 17, 2020 at 1:02
  • g++ -l ./include ./src/main.cpp -o ./bin/main.o gives fatal error: "Person.hpp": No such file or directory Commented Nov 17, 2020 at 1:10
  • Should it have been ../Include instead of ./Include in the above comment? Also remember this path has to be relative to the main.cpp file I believe. Commented Nov 17, 2020 at 1:35
  • Tried that too... the same error Commented Nov 17, 2020 at 1:41
