I was working on a project which required some coding in Visual Studio recently and ran into a problem: the included header files were not in the same directory as the source files and therefore were not found during a build. Not being familiar with the code, I was not very keen on going through and changing the #include “header.h” lines manually to the proper relative path (which would have been along the lines of #include “../../include/header.h” in some cases and different in others).
From my experience with other compilers I knew there had to be a way to specify the location where the VS2010 C++ compiler was to look for the header files. A bit of digging through Google didn’t help very much as the consensus was: relative paths are the way to go. Going through the project settings I finally came upon my fix which I will share with you.
To set the path:
- Go to your project’s properties. (Either Right-click the project name and select Properties or from the menu bar click Project –> Properties.)
- Navigate to Configuration Properties –> C/C++ –> General as shown below and enter the path in the Additional Include Directories box ( separate;entries;with;semicolons; )
Voila! The header files are now found and the project compiles!

It has been quiet on this site for a while, my summer hasn’t really given me the opportunity to sit down and write posts that I wanted to write. That’s either good or bad, depending how you look at it.
Anyway, here’s some of the things that have kept me busy:
- Flying – I am at the end of the journey. Only the flight test left then I will have my PPL
- Autonomous Robot Race – starting in May I helped my friends with their autonomous robot team and joined them at the competition. We didn’t do half bad
- Work – lots of work designing, debugging and programming. Many nights of work have eaten up my time
I managed to break the WordPress install on the podcast website I’m trying to get up and running so I will have to take some time to fix it or just redo it completely. School starts soon as well so that should be fun. I will finish my licence in the month of September and I hope to have some more content to post after that.
As I said to my parents the other weekend “I’m glad school is starting, now I’ll finally have some free time.”
Thank you to all of you who have visited my site and as always, leave your questions in the comments or drop me a line on Twitter.

I’m still around the internet and flying every so often. Since I last updated you on my flight status I’ve finished the instrument portion of the training (I loved it! Watch for a post about it coming up!) and also the short cross country both dual and solo (I’ve got a post about this too in the works as well).
That was 2 months ago. I haven’t flown since February due to school and tests and assignments and the like. Now that exams are all over I am ready to get back in the cockpit. In fact, if the weather stays as nice as it was today, I will be flying tomorrow afternoon. I plan on finishing my PPL this summer and starting the CPL this fall. Before I do that though I have to still write the written test and finish up a few more lessons.
In other news I am also working on starting an aviation related podcast a la Airplane Geeks and Plane Crazy Down Under. The show will mainly have a Canadian aviation focus and cover news and other events myself (and possibly some co-hosts) find interesting. I will keep you up to date on the developments there.
Until next time, Aviate, Navigate, Communicate!

I’m working on a bunch of posts at the moment, among them:
- A look at the Private Pilot Licence Flight Test Guide issued by Transport Canada
- My Flight Sim Setup (left over from May)
- More Flight Sim related posts (a look at some available resources; I am also toying with the idea of chronicling flights around the world ala Around the World in a Dash 8)
- A review of the book “Buying and Owning Your Own Airplane” by James E. Ellis
- Near the end of June I will start reviewing for the written PPL exam so look for posts going over some concepts learned in ground school
- More of my flight lessons!
