C++ code syntax highlight

[dophine]

Hi,

I just upgrade QT 5.0.1 to 5.1. However, I found the source file (.cpp) are not highlighted. After further investigation, I found the #include statement is required to point to the exact path. For example, the directory looks like:
project root
|-- inc
| |-- aa.h
| `-- bb.h
`-- src
|-- aa.cpp
`-- bb.cpp

The include statement need to be "#include <inc/aa.h>" so that bb.cpp is highlighted. But for previous version, "#include <aa.h>" is fine.
So my question is how I can still just include the header file only without the path".

Thanks

Does your project file contain any INCLUDEPATH statements? Did it contain any when you were using 5.0.2?

I think it does not.

TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle
CONFIG -= qt

SOURCES += \
src/aa.cpp \
src/bb.cpp

HEADERS += \
inc/aa.h \
inc/bb.h

For previous version, I just add existing file. Then the source file is highlighted.
For 5.1, I tried to open existing qt project file that there is no highlight.
So I tried create a new project and add existing files. However, the result is the same.

If it doesn't then how the IDE (or the compiler itself) is supposed to know where to look for your files? If you add "inc" to INCLUDEPATH then Creator will know where to look for your files.

Thanks. It works.
