I have 2 issues with includes

I am programming in CCS (based on Eclipse) to learn to use microcontrollers.

I'm having some problems with includes.

I have 4 files:

GPIO.h - macros and prototypes of GPIO functions

GPIO.c - implementation of GPIO functions declared in GPIO.h

main.c - main program

util.h - macros and typedefs essential to all other files

In each of the programs put the includes, I ctrl + c / ctrl + v of my code: I really try with " ", I would like to make my code run, it would be rewarding.

GPIO.h - #include "util.h"

GPIO.c - #include "GPIO.h"

main.c - #include "GPIO.c"

util.h - (no includes)

As in eclipse all files are placed in the project folder. Already checked manually by accessing the folder, and they are there.

When I compile and run, there are 2 errors referring to include:

"../GPIO.c", Line 9: fatal error # 1965: Can not open source file "GPIO.h"

"../main.c", Line 1: fatal error # 1965: Can not open source file "GPIO.c"

I do not understand what's wrong!

I made the edit so that people understand that even with "" the error continues (@ mame98). I made it clear that I am using the CCS IDE based on Eclipse and now my suspicion is with the operating system. I will have the opportunity to test on Windows only now.

You should only include H files as Eugene Sh. Points out... Also, use #include "util.h" and #include "gpio.h" as they are local files and they are not in the default search path of your compiler. If you want to include 'global' headers (which are in the search path) you have to use #include <file.h>.

Maybe also note, that it is possible to add your local folder to the search path with using the -I. option for GCC (should work with other compilers too).

For more infos about the search path, see here.

<> is for libraries like #include <stdio.h>

"" is used for your own files #include "GPIO.h"

Be careful including .c! If GPIO.h is included in GPIO.c, too, you could get errors..(multiple inclusion protection is useful here!)
