Setting .include path in .rootrc file?

ROOT
1

Hi,
I would like to modify the include path in my .rootrc file. It was
easy to do this for the MacroPath, with:

Unix.*.Root.MacroPath: .:$(ROOTSYS)/macros:/home/put/macro/path/here

and for the DynamicPath, with:

Unix.*.Root.DynamicPath: .:$(ROOTSYS)/lib:/home/put/lib/path/here .

However, when I try to set the include path in the .rootrc file, with:

.include /home/put/include/path/here

it does not show up when I check it interactively with “root[] .include”, and
my code cannot find the included files. Would there be any reason why I can’t
set the include path in the .rootrc file, when it was so easy for the Macro and Dynamic
Paths?
:question:

Thanks,
Penny

Hello Penny,

you can also set the path in your .rootlogon.C file, eg by

gSystem->SetIncludePath(" -Imyincludepath1 ");
gSystem->SetIncludePath(" -Imyincludepath2 ");
...

Cheers,
Oliver

Hi Oliver,
Thanks for the idea. I guess I will try that, although at the moment I
don’t have a rootlogon.C file. My preference would be to do everything
in the .rootrc file. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.
Regards,
Penny
