    I'm building a feature that currently has native code called in with DllImport to the regular C# functions. I'm able to build it when my #include directives are relative to the calling file, e.g. in myFile.h:

    #include "../../../otherDir/otherFile.h"

    Which is ugly, a pain, and obviously not the right way to do it. I'd like to just include the base directory as an additional include dir, so that everything can be specified relative to the root of my cpp code folder. How can I specify a new include path like that?

    The cpp~ folder is automatically included from the Project.Unity > Assets > MyCompanyName > MyDemoName > Runtime > cpp~ > {a bunch of .cc/.h files live here}

    It's not documented currently but you can put a an "include" directory inside of your "cpp~" directory and the directory will be usable by assemblies with a reference. You can see the Unity.Runtime assembly make use of this feature.

    Note, the "cpp~" needs to be beside your "myassembly.asmdef" file.

    Hope this helps!
