Hi,

Im looking for where I can define the path to my classes, and im using dev-C++. Im new to C++, and have had previous exprience in Java. If anyone here is familiar with Java, im looking for the CLASSPATH system variable.

I was told that it was defined in the compiler options - however I seem to be unsuccessful to find it.

Thanks for your help in advance

Hmm.

What exactly do you want to define? There should be only one path you need to define, the path to your class header files. This can be done in Tools | Compiler options | Directories | C++ Includes. Add the path to your header files there.

When you create a project in Dev-C++ (or in another IDE), it automatically instructs the linker to link all the files you have added to your project; you don't need to manually define paths to those.

So, say you have class Student, which consists of the header file student.h and the implementation student.cpp. In the additional includes you add the path to the header file (or add the header file to a directory already listed). Then you create a new project. Then, by right-clicking on the project name or from the Project menu you select "Add to project" and add the .cpp file to the project.

Solved..

See i had already doen that - however I kept getting an error - and the way it appeared it looked like It couldnt find that .h file. HowevreI had accidently named it the same as an already existing .h file.

Thanks fo ryour help
