Thus you need to specify include directories. Let's assume +that we are at some subdirectory and wish to add its `include` +subdirectory to some target's search path. To create a include +directory object we do this: + +```meson +incdir = include_directories('include') +``` + +The `incdir` variable now holds a reference to the `include` subdir. +Now we pass that as an argument to a build target: + +```meson +executable('someprog', 'someprog.c', include_directories : incdir) +``` + +Note that these two commands can be given in any subdirectories and it +will still work. Meson will keep track of the locations and generate +proper compiler flags to make it all work. + +Another thing to note is that `include_directories` adds both the +source directory and corresponding build directory to include path, so +you don't have to care. -- cgit 1.2.3-korg
