What is the diff b/w Includes in VC++ Directories options and Additional include directories in C++ -> General in Visual Studio
c++, visual-studio
Solution
Visual Studio team recently explained differences of VS 2010 regarding include directories to earlier versions in their blog. You should find your answer here: http://blogs.msdn.com/vsproject/archive/2009/07/07/vc-directories.aspx
Problem
I tried adding the include directories in the VC++ Directories -> Include Directories option in Tools -> Options but when compiling I get error - "Can't find file or directory" . Once I add to the Project properties -> Configuration properties -> C++ -> General -> Additional include directories , I could compile successfully. So why does Visual Studio have a Include Directories option. Why is it used for ? (I'm using Visual studio 2010 Beta 1 )
