VCS External C++ Includes

Hello, I am currently attempting to create a C++ Pro library for VEX Coding Studio. Based on looking in the Application Support files (Mac user), I have found that includes can be added in the following directories:


sdk/vexv5/include
sdk/vexv5/gcc/include
sdk/vexv5/gcc/include/c++/4.9.3

I was just wondering if there was a way to add an external directory to the include search. This way, the library isn’t erased when VCS is updated, or if one doesn’t have permissions to access this folder, they can still add libraries. Thanks!

VCS Version: 20180820.10.20 for Mac

VCS does not (easily) support external headers or source files at this time. I would not recommend changing anything in the application support folder.

@jpearman Is external file management still on track for the next release VCS in October? I have spent the last couple years stressing proper source code management and version control, so it is painful not to have that available yet (I am sure it pains you more than me). One of my teams even received a sponsorship from the makers of GitKraken, so the obviously want to be able to use the software…

While I can’t speak officially, we were told only a few days ago that the file management would come with the next release and that that release is slated for October.

I love git kraken. That’s really cool that they sponsored your team. :slight_smile:
