AC6 Assembly .include not working

Seems like I am missing something about the .include statement. No matter what I try I always end up getting 'Error: can't open xxxx for reading: No such file or directory'

Is there something I have to set up in the project preferences or some kind of path to the file I need to specify? It does not even work when the include file is in the same directory as the source code.

Might want to review the command line to the assembler, how the source is pathed there, and if any include paths are handed over.

Source file might be './src/foo.s'

Not sufficiently familiar with AC6 but perhaps you can right click the file in the project tree and have the options show the path. Worst case seed a unique copy of the include file in several of the directories, including that of the project/workspace, and see which one gets pulled, and note that for future reference. Usually the base directory is determine by where the makefile or compiler is run from.

Thanks! That was the right hint.

In Project/Properties there is a setting where you can add include paths for the assembler. I did add the standard include folder (not just the path of the project folder!) and dropped my file there, now it works.
