I use Everything ALL the time.  If you are using Windows, you really
need to try it.

i was working in RotateExtrudeNode.cc today and in VisualStudioCode
some of the #include statements have red squiggly lines under them
showing there is a problem..

for this include:

#include "core/RotateExtrudeNode.h"

i get

 cannot open source file "glib.h" (dependency of
 "C:\Users\Jeff\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.cpptools-1.27.5-win32-x64\bin\core\RotateExtrudeNode.h")C/C++(1696)

but i cannot find where glib.h is coming from. I know that i need to
update the include path, and i have found where to do that ..

is glib.h part of the compiler? a specific library?

another mystery is

cannot open source file "libintl.h" (dependency of
"C:\Users\Jeff.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.cpptools-1.27.5-win32-x64\bin\core\module.h")C/C++(1696)

BUT … i did solve a red squiggly for a boost header by installing
boost and adding its folder to the include path list

any tips for finding header files in general .. short of doing a
find command from the root folder and working thru the resulting
massive list of .h files
