Why is my build code won't working informing that my file is not acessible if it is in the right folder and my c debugger work as well, finding no errors?

This is my build file:

set files=src\glad.c src\main.c set libs=C:\Users\Ozzy\Documents\projects\c\lib\SDL2main.lib C:\Users\Ozzy\Documents\projects\c\lib\SDL2.lib C:\Users\Ozzy\Documents\projects\c\lib\freetype.lib

CL /Zi /I C:\Users\Ozzy\Documents\projects\c\include %files% /link %libs% /OUT:mygame.exe

CodePudding user response：

From your screenshot I can see that the glad directory is next to main.c.

When including files, you can use either quotes ("") or angle brackets (<>), and they behave differently. The exact behavior depends on the compiler you are using and the settings for that compiler, but with cl.exe the default behavior is:

• <>: Search within your include paths (which can be set using the /I flag).
• "" Search relative to the location of the including file. If that doesn't work, fall back to the include paths.

So if you replace:

#include <glad/glad.h>

With:

#include "glad/glad.h"

Then it should work.

Here's some more information about how the #include directive works in cl.exe/MSVC.
