Visual Studio variable declaration

Question

I have a project that has the following line in the additional includes section:

"$(SOMEPATH_SHORTNAME)\include"

Can someone tell me where I can find $(SOMEPATH) defined? I can't find it by simply searching in Visual Studio

Answer 1

Check your environment variables.

Answer 2

If it's not an environment variable, the place to look is the macros. In the property sheets, click the (...) button beside the "Addition Include Directories" line, and expand the "Macros>>" button in the dialog that pops up.

• Click Environment variables.
