Forum Post: fatal error #1965: cannot open source file - but file is in project

Hello all!

I am developing for an F28335 in C++ and CCS v5.5 under Windows 7 at the moment.I make a heavy use of subdirectories for my code files and include them via include "relative paths"

During my builds I get sometimes errors that confuse me a bit:

================================================================

  #include "ControllerOperationalSettingsObserverServer.h"
                                                          ^

1 catastrophic error detected in the compilation of"../TaskScheduler/MeasDataSynchronizer/MeasDataSynchronizer.cpp".

===================================================================.

The error happens in a file that is in the same subdirectory as the included one (hence I use #include "ControllerOperationalSettingsObserverServer.h"). Both files are part of the eclipse project and not included via an include path option.

I had this problem a bit earlier already with another often used file. When I added this project folder to the project includes (--include_path) the error went away.

However, since this is a project file and not a library I do not want to include everything to the includes.

The folder structure is the following way:

• eclipse project dir
  • TaskScheduler
    
    • MeasDataSynchronizer
      
      • MeasDataSynchronizer.h
  • GlobalSettings
    
    • Controller
      
      • Controller ... .h

When I look at the compiler output, the last line is confusing to me: why does the path begin with a "../"? What's the base directory to that?
Other than that, I'm just confused why this error pops up and I would like to solve it without playing with --include_path (since all these files are in my eclipse project).

Thanks a lot!
