Include errors using <>/"" about libjapi

@bmi can you give a concrete example for that? The example in the docs uses <> because it assumes the library is installed as package (as available here). I will add a comment there, see 87b99c8

The example is: You dont know how a user with the source code will use the library. You expect that he is using the code as a single library, installed in Linux first before he is starting to develope his code. But this is not every time the case(this is not my normal behavoure of using a libray i get to work with). if you only provide the library than is this ok, but you want to provide the source code.

It is a bad coding style only to provide one way to use the source code. And especially from such a trivial thing as the include.

What is the problem: The linker will not find the include with <> if it is not in the in the same way your statemant is given. if you use "" the linker will look lokal from the source path to the given satement without a correct $path configured is needed.

I understand but when looking through the code, I did not find any error on that. Only the example given in the docs which uses libJAPI from the package instead from a submodule.

Can you describe the situation in which you had problems? Do you maybe know where there are wrong imports in the code?
