Closed slycelote closed 3 years ago

slycelote commented 3 years ago

I also had a question, what is I want to include some pre-written library of mine in my solution, but it is not present in the cpplib folder, How shall we do that?

You copy the library into the cpplib directory.

Spidy104 commented 3 years ago

Okay, then can it include from outside?

Spidy104 commented 3 years ago

Like as in the caide.ini file I'll just write "-I /path/to/library"

slycelote commented 3 years ago

I think this may work as long as your library is header-only. The headers won't appear in VS solution though. Better replace cpplib directory with a symlink to your external folder.

Okay thanks

I had a question if I wanted to include the boost library what should be done, and also in the cpplib directory if I create sub directories, then would caide be able to include them in my solution and in my submission.cpp file.

You probably won't be able to use boost, because that library is too complicated. Subdirectories should be fine, you can try and open an issue if it doesn't work.
