RS08 Compiler > Input

Use this panel to specify file search paths and any additional include files the RS08 Compiler should use. You can specify multiple search paths and the order in which you want to perform the search.

The IDE first looks for an include file in the current directory, or the directory that you specify in the INCLUDE directive. If the IDE does not find the file, it continues searching the paths shown in this panel. The IDE keeps searching paths until it finds the #include file or finishes searching the last path at the bottom of the Include File Search Paths list. The IDE appends to each path the string that you specify in the INCLUDE directive.

Note: The IDE displays an error message if a header file is in a different directory from the referencing source file. Sometimes, the IDE also displays an error message if a header file is in the same directory as the referencing source file.

For example, if you see the message Could not open source file myfile.h, you must add the path for myfile.h to this panel.
