I usually keep the project include files in the project directory, all of my
utilities include files in another directory.

As Hi-Tech is dos, I always use the 8.3 format.

If one has, like I do, their include files in different directories, the command
line for the Hi-Tech compiler requires that the include path in MPLAB Edit Project
window be constructed this way:
Include Path    C:\HT-PIC\INCLUDE  -iD:\GASTON_E\APPLICHT\INCLUDE      Notice the
space and -i separating the two paths.

But MPLAB seems to be only happy when the different paths are separated by semicolon
which gives:
Include Path    C:\HT-PIC\INCLUDE;D:\GASTON_E\APPLICHT\INCLUDE   with no -i for the
second directory.

Now if the c files and obj files have the same time stamps, F10 produces:   "Target
is current"   which is fine.
But if one of the c file is modified, then it is the compiler that does not find the
included files specified in the c file. :o(

One "get around way" I found is to write         Include Path
c:\ht-pic\include    in MPLAB and absolute paths everywhere else in the c files.
A typical exempla for one file would be:

#include <pic.h>
#include "d:\gaston_e\applicht\include\sci.h"

Well this is feasible but hawk ward. (?) to say the least.

I did not see any reference to this problem in Hi-Tech's forum.

To the many other Hi-Tech users on the list, how do you deal with this problem ?
