Hello, I have some a .hpp file that contains functions that can be used by multiple RCC workers.\ Is there an environment variable that points to the top level of the project or some other way that I can specify the relative path to the file? Currently I have the full path given in the RCC Worker xml `Includeddirs `property which works fine on my local machine but obviously this path doesn’t exist when attempting to run on other machines. I tried using `../ `from the location of the XML file but this did not work. Thanks in advance,\ Dan

Must have made a typo somewhere as using a relative path with `../` now appears to be working

Glad you got it working. For future reference there is an environment variable you could use as a reference point. It's called OCPI_ROOT_DIR , from there you can access projects directory.

If your project is not located inside the installed directory you can navigate from the OCPI_ROOT_DIR to your project using the symlinks in `projects-registry`. Assuming your OpenCPI project is registered using `ocpidev register project` from your project directory.

Worth noting, I believe environment variables are not supported in XML, so you'd need to go via Makefile if you wanted to use $OCPI_ROOT_DIR. I'd recommend staying in XML and using `../`, then to access other projects I'd go via the `imports` directory in your project. That way the relative project locations can change and the relative path will still be correct.
