can't locate my include files

[don]

I was trying to compile a .c source file using bcc on my winxp system but
the only way this would work is if I put the stdio.h file in the same folder
as the source file, even though my include statement said this #include
<c:\myfiles\include> which I thought would solve the "can't find error" I
was getting for my printf statements etc. etc.

If you want to include stdio.h you should just be able to write
#include <stdio.h>

If you want #include to find files other than the Standard headers
then read your compiler documentation to find out how it handles files
and paths. This is officially implementation-defined, ie, the
implementation is required to document it.

Have you looked? The first hit on a google of "c faq" looks good to me.

There were so many hits that I wanted to narrow it down - the fastest way to
an answer is to ask the Right question.

resently, earlyier this week or near the end of the week before
