How to set include path in xcode project

Solution 1:

In version 5.0.2 of XCode, the best way to accomplish this is probably to add it to the target's "Search Paths" pane. Locating this was (for me) incredibly unintuitive. Here's how I got to it, for those as confused as I:

In the left column, click on the Project Navigator icon (looks like a folder). Then, click on the project entry. This should show a bunch of settings in the main pane. At the top of this pane, click on "Build Settings. This shows a bunch of entries... including one called Search Paths... but you can't add a search path here! This made me gnash my teeth for quite a while, until I figured out that the name of the project at the top of this pane was a pull-down; choose the target from this pull-down, and you should now be able to double click on "Header Search Paths" and perform the needed edit.

Oh, the joy of crazy GUIs.

Solution 2:

Figured it out.

All you have to do is add the -I flag to your build setting under "Other C Flags"

So in your target's build setting search for "Other C Flags" and add -I/path-to-include/

Here's a screenshot:

Solution 3:

Try this:

1 - select your project file in the left Xcode pane
2 - make sure your project is selected in the middle Xcode pane
3 - select "Build Settings" at the top of the middle Xcode pane
4 - be sure "All" & "Combined" are selected just beneath "Build Settings"
5 - type header in the search field just below "Build Settings"

You should see the search path fields ready for editing in the middle pane.
