External headers not found

ROOT

Hi,

I have to use an external library in my code, which I compile using ACLiC. The headers form this external library includes other headers from this library as “PackageName/HeaderName.h”. I add the include path but still ACLiC does not find the headers. But in the last lines you see, that the requested files exist.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

you actually need to call gSystem->AddIncludePath("-Ipath") (i.e. prefix it with “-I”).

Cheers, Axel.
