Syntastic doesn't find C header files despite Configuring

Question

I have configured the following properly in my .vimrc in the root folder of a project to keep syntastic settings Project specific.

But still Syntastic throws errors saying "No Such File or Directory"

Directory Structure

--Project    
    |---include
         |---foo.h    
    |---src
         |---foo.c
    |---.vimrc

.vimrc Contents

let g:syntastic_c_include_dirs = ['/home/pydi.k/Project/include/']

foo.c shows a "foo.h no such file or directory"

Bottom Line - I want to configure syntastic so that it looks for custom made header files at locations I point to.

Answer 1

The problem is not in Configuring Syntastic but rather letting Vim load the .vimrc file in the root directory of your project. The following will solve the problem and ensure that you load the .vimrc before Syntastic checks for errors.

• After loading vim, explicitly run the command :so location/to/.vimrc

• Configuring your central .vimrc to load the local .vimrc file from wherever you are launching vim would be a headache as you should carefully always launch it from the root of the project. Instead add this line to the central .vimrc: so .vimrc

• Use the plugin localrc.
