How to add an external folder with header files (include folder) to a Visual Studio project?

Question

I have a main.cpp file that relies on a header file located in another location.

#include "C:\SierraChart\ACS_Source\sierrachart.h"

My project is in C:\dev\

I don't want to specify an explicit path in the include directive, is it possible to add that absolute path as an additional include directory?

so I can just use:

#include "sierrachart.h"

Answer 1

You can add it in

Project > Properties > C/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories
