What does this arrow mean?

Paul Lamar


I never look at "file manager" utilities in linux.  Too mouse-centric..

"include"?  What do the icons for the source ("C") code look like?

Matt-


Not "include"..  I missed that utsrelease.h and version.h when I first
looked at the picture.

Are these files actually symbolic links?


Matt-

Could be. I am not familiar with symbolic links and why
you need them. What are they and why does one need them?

Paul Lamar

 Looks like a C++ header file named "usb".

 Is it C++ or C?

That's most likely a symbolic link. They pretend to be the 'real' file they
point to. It lets you abstract file system layouts (in this case include
file paths).

It's also most likely a 'c' header file; in *nix cpp headers are usually
'.hh'. (and source files are '.cc')

The '-I' option to gcc allows you to add include paths. If you can find the
file you're lacking, append the full path to the end of your '-I' paths,
example: "-I /usr/include /usr/local/include ../include", etc. Any IDE that
builds makefile's for you will have a utility to set your include paths (and
libs). Eclipse does.

I've been fabricating the top-center engine mount today, made good progress.
Will have pictures after all my mistakes are covered up ;/)

Thanks Kenny. I'll try that. If I found the real usb.h could I copy
it to the same directory stdio.h  is in? stdio.h works fine?

Some of those dozens of  usb.h files are empty files for some strange reason :)

Bad idea to move other peoples header files around, they often have
path / location dependencies. The right answer is to config your
include path.

OK Kenny thanks.
