Visual Studio C++ multi-project solution

Question

I have created an C++ solution in VS2008. The first project contains the model. The second projects is the view. The problem is that i don't get make references to my model classes defined in the first project. The message error is :

Error   1   fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'utils/GeradorSistematicoDeAlturaDoPlanoDeCorteStrategy.h': No such file or directory  c:\Users\user\Programação em C++\Simulacao\Simulacao_Testes\src\Teste1.cpp  3   Simulacao_Testes

Is there any configuration in VS2008 that makes to be made in order to, from the my view (second project) project, i do make references to the first project, the model?

Answer 1

You can either use relative paths in the include statement itself, or add the directory where the model .h files are to the additional include directories of the project settings (go the project properties, then Configuration properties / C++ / General, Additional include directories).

Answer 2

First of all I find this approach for the MVC pattern quite strange. But if you really want to do it like that you have to link the resulting DLL/LIB from your model project to your view project (go to the project properties, then Configuration Properties/Linker/Input/Additional Dependencies; you may need to set the right path too in Configuration Properties/Linker/General/Additional Library Directories)
