[SOLVED] can u save c++ header to a diff location

I dont like the tedious task of everytime saving your c++ header files in /usr/include/c++/4.2
instead i would want to save them in the same folder as with my other c++ programs.

Why do you need to do that?

Just #include "yourheader.h" and it's looked for in the current directory...

:shock: WTF?

Save your header file within your current working directory (as CptPicard noted). If you need to store it elsewhere, then specify the location using the -I option when you compile. For example:

Headers are in /home/programbo/headers. Code in /home/programbo/code.

compile file1.cpp using:

g++ -I/home/programbo/headers file1.cpp -o myprog
