NMAKE can't find include file in subfolder -- SOLVED

Isn't
sys/types.haPOSIXinclude file? Can you use it on Windows (I mean withoutCygwin)?Veni, vidi, vici.
I just checked - it is in the Windows

Using Microsoft's NMAKE with -I option for include paths. It works for the include files in these folders, but can't seem to find one in a named subfolder: Here's the resulting command & error message:
cl /nologo /Ox /MD /EHsc /W3 /D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE -I "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\sys"; -I. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\sys" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Include" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include" -DAVOID_WIN32_FILEIO -DCHECK_JPEG_YCBCR_SUBSAMPLING -DDEFAULT_EXTRASAMPLE_AS_ALPHA -DSTRIPCHOP_DEFAULT=TIFF_STRIPCHOP -DSTRIP_SIZE_DEFAULT=8192 -DLOGLUV_SUPPORT -DNEXT_SUPPORT -DTHUNDER_SUPPORT -DLZW_SUPPORT -DPACKBITS_SUPPORT -DCCITT_SUPPORT -DTIF_PLATFORM_CONSOLE -DFILLODER_LSB2MSB /c tif_unix.c tif_unix.c tif_unix.c(35) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sys/types.h': No such file or directory
Two things to note: 1. The "missing" file, "types.h", IS in the "sys" subfolder of one of the include paths, so "sys/types.h" should have been found, and 2. The "sys" subfolder was also included (out of desperation) and types.h STILL wasn't found. Any ideas why this include file can't be found?

Maybe it's a copy/paste bug but that command line doesn't look right to me. 1. The second include is given with option "-I.", that dot doesn't belong there. 2. The rest of the include paths are given without -I arg so the compiler probably won't know what to do with those.

1. That just means add the current directory to the include path(s). 2. I already noted this in my comment above.

1. Yes that could be the intention, but the compiler would look there in any case, wouldn't it? 2. So then we know it took me more than 36 minutes to type in that comment. No wonder I'm not a regular...
1. Not all compilers do that automatically. As far as I recall some flavours of UNIX require this. 2. Apologies, I did not check the time differences.

If we break this command into its constituent parts we get the following:
cl /nologo
/Ox
/MD
/EHsc
/W3
/D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE
-I "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\sys";
-I.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\sys"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Include"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include"

/c
tif_unix.c
tif_unix.c
tif_unix.c(35) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sys/types.h': No such file or directory
The only directories included by the
-Ioption are "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\sys" and . (dot). All the other directory names seem to be orphaned in the command line. I'm also not sure why "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\sys" has that semi-colon character after it. I think you need to check yourNMAKEsource file.Unrequited desire is character building. OriginalGriff I'm sitting here giving you a standing ovation - Len Goodman
You nailed it Richard! That was the problem! Many thanks (and 5 points)!

I haven't messed with make files in a very long time, but it seems that the preprocessor is going to look in the following folders for
sys/types.h:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\sys"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\sys"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Include"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include"Of the above, only the last one would appear to contain a folder named
sys, correct? Does the\vs./make any difference? I don't think it does, but I just wanted to mention it."One man's wage rise is another man's price increase." - Harold Wilson

Thanks for the info, but the problem turned out to be something else.

I suspected it was after reading Richard's post.
