[SOLVED] glib/gtypes.h not found (Emacs/Flycheck)

I want to parse a key-value file (config file). I chose to use GLib since Linux distributions have it pre-installed.

#include <glib-2.0/glib.h>

The problem is when I try to link the library, I get the following errors on Flycheck:

 glib.h 'glib/galloca.h' file not found with <angled> include; use "quotes" instead (c/c++-clang)
 galloca.h  'glib/gtypes.h' file not found (c/c++-clang)

/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gtypes.h does actually exist so I don't know what the problem is

Nothing referencing this error shows up on any search engine so I ask you if you have any idea.

Thanks

You need to add the include paths. See pkgconf --cflags glib-2.0

I added

(add-hook 'c-mode-hook
        (lambda () (setq flycheck-clang-include-path
                       (list "/usr/include/glib-2.0" "/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include"))))

to my .emacs

Thanks

Have you also switched from the incorrect <glib-2.0/glib.h> to <glib.h> ?
