Question about C++ folder structure for header file

I'm quite new in C++ after few years in Java and eclipse, I got little bit confusing using code::blocks, no autogenerate setter/getter and also implement interface :D.

I wanna ask about code structure in code::blocks, I create new console application, my header will be put开发者_如何转开发 to Headers/include folder called Employee.h, then .cpp will be put to src folder. Now I create main class (I put outside of src folder) who will call the header, I just append the include code like this :

#include "Employee.h"

sure then the errors appeared after compiling: error : Employee.h: No such file or directory.

how to link the header to the main class properly?

this is my folder structure :

updated : It works, my include folder needs to be added on build options.

Really thanks

You need to add your include directory to your compiler's include path. This is going to be compiler-specific. e.g., if your structure is:

code
code/src
code/include

and you're running g++ from a terminal in the 'code' directory, you'd need to run (assuming your .cpp is Employee.cpp):

g++ -Iinclude src/Employee.cpp

I suspect you're running some sort of IDE, though: if so, do a search in its help for "include path" and it should tell you how to set it up correctly.

If you want to include your employee.h you must #include "employee.h" not Employee.h. Those are two different files.

You shouldn't be adding include paths to your build options for header files that are actually part of your project. It didn't find the header file from the EmployeeTest.cpp because you didn't use the full relative path.

You need:

#include "include/Employee.h"

You should only be adding include paths to your compiler for additional libraries that aren't added to the typical /usr/local/include or /usr/include directories.
