Paths for Header Files (

.h

)

Header files are included by means of preprocessor directive

#include

. If you

place an explicit path to the header file in preprocessor directive, only that location
will be searched.

If

#include

directive was used with the

<header_name>

version, the search is

made successively in each of the following locations, in this particular order:

1. mikroC installation folder > “include” folder,
2. your custom search paths.

The

"header_name"

version specifies a user-supplied include file; mikroC will

look for the header file in following locations, in this particular order:

1. the project folder (folder which contains the project file

.ppc

),

2. mikroC installation folder > “include” folder,
3. your custom search paths.

Managing Source Files

Creating a new source file

To create a new source file, do the following:

Select File > New from drop-down menu, or press CTRL+N, or click the New
File icon. A new tab will open, named “Untitled1”. This is your new source file.
Select File > Save As from drop-down menu to name it the way you want.

If you have used New Project Wizard, an empty source file, named after the proj-
ect with extension

.c

, is created automatically. mikroC does not require you to

have source file named same as the project, it’s just a matter of convenience.
