Rootcint Include Files

ROOT
1

I am trying to generate a dictionary. My .h file for my class includes another header file. When I try to generate the dictionary rootcint complains that it can’t find the included file. I tried to use the -I directive, but can’t get it to work. What is the correct syntax. Please see output below. Thanks in advance.

Try something like:
rootcint -f dict_file.cxx -c -p -I/include/path1 -I/include/path2 header_file1.h header_file2.h LinkDef.h

Hi,
-l didn’t work. Shouldn’t -I work? I tried that and it didn’t work either. Why should this be so difficult?

Does anyone know how to include a header file when creating a dictionary? Shouldn’t -I work?
