Different working folder for a C/C++ source file

Different working folder for a C/C++ source file

[Seyran Avanesyan]

Hi, 

Can I compile a C/C++ source from folder  /AAA, but tell gcc to pretend
that the file is in the folder /BBB.

The problem is /BBB contains all the necessary files (source and include
files), but I took one of them, modified a little, and /BBB is
read-only.
 
Thanks,

Seyran

Hi Seyran,

Try this:

cd /AAA
for FILE in /BBB/*
do
  if test ! -e $FILE
    ln -s $FILE
  fi
done
g++ -c -o real.o real.cpp

Thanks, that's a nice solution, but unfortunately I forgot to mention
that I'm compiling under Windows Vista 64-bit.

I've got another solution by using '#line' preprocessor directive to
correct paths in error messages.
And using additional `-I' switch on the command line for /BBB folder.

But I was thinking about some kind of command line switch to do that at
once.
