[Info-vax] C compiler snag

[Richard Levitte]

Hey folks,

it's been long since I've been present here...  been all busy with OpenSSL, not much time for something else.

Now, speaking of OpenSSL, I'm hitting an "interesting" snag that I can't seem to find a good solution for.  It's easy to demonstrate, with this set of files:

humpf.c
[.incl]h.h
something.h

----- humpf.c
#include "./incl/h.h"

int main()
{
}
-----

----- [.incl]h.h
#include "../something.h"
-----

----- something.h
int foo(void);
-----

The content of those files isn't terribly interesting, but the inclusion sequence is, i.e. humpf.c includes "./incl/h.h" includes "../something.h".  Structures like this may seem strange, but they do exist.  So now for the snag:

-----
$ cc humpf.c

#include "../something.h"
.^
%CC-F-NOINCLFILEF, Cannot find file "../something.h" specified in #include directive.
at line number 1 in file USER:[LEVITTE.TEST.CC-INCL-2.INCL]h.h;1
-----

So my question is, is there any trick that I can do with the compiler to make this go through without error?  i would rather not have to restructure the inclusion if I can.
