externalincludedirs
Specifies the include file search paths for the compiler, treating headers included from these paths as external.
externalincludedirs { "paths" }
For Visual Studio, these paths are placed in the "VC++ Directories" properties panel. For GCC and Clang, they are preceded with the -isystem flag, rather than -I. For toolsets which do not support the concept of external include directories, they are treated as a normal include directory.
Include files located via an external include directory are treated specially, see externalwarnings.
Parameters
paths specifies a list of include file search directories. Paths should be specified relative to the currently running script file.
Applies To
Project configurations.
Availability
Premake 5.0.0-alpha1 or later.
Examples
Define two external include file search paths.
externalincludedirs { "../lua/include", "../zlib" }
You can also use wildcards to match multiple directories. The * will match against a single directory, ** will recurse into subdirectories as well.
externalincludedirs { "../includes/**" }
