So this is my source tree for a simple note-taking app I’m creating.

Folder PATH listing for volume Seagate Ext

    +---includes
            foo.c
            foo.h
            func.h

Whenever I run gcc main.c includes/foo.c functions/create_note.c functions/view_note.c functions/delete_note.c -o x I’m getting:

functions/create_note.c:7:10: fatal error: includes/foo.h: No such file or directory
 #include "includes/foo.h"
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
functions/view_note.c:3:10: fatal error: includes/func.h: No such file or directory
 #include "includes/func.h"
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
functions/delete_note.c:3:10: fatal error: includes/func.h: No such file or directory
 #include "includes/func.h"
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

Inside my create_note.c this is how I’ve ordered the preprocessors.

#include <io.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

#include "includes/foo.h"
#include "includes/func.h"

func.h has three functions declared which are all inside functions/, and create_note.c is one of them. The above shows how the preprocessors are inside create_note.c as mentioned. How would I solve the compile error?

I’ve tried doing this in my #include:

• #include "srcincludefoo.h"
• #include "./includes/foo.h

Expectation is: the program should compile successfully and work!
