c++ - gcc can't find header file

Question

I have this main in a project in c++ but I can't compile it in gcc due to this error:

In file included from main.cpp:11:
../framework/application.h:8:10: fatal error: includes.h: El fitxer o directori no existeix
    8 | #include "includes.h"
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~

What it says is that the file "includes.h" doesn't exist. It exist but is in another directory and I don't know how to compile using a header from another directory.

I tried:

gcc -I ../framework/ main.cpp 
gcc -I../framework/ main.cpp
gcc -I "../framework/" main.cpp

Testing on my machine with a similar directory structure using the I directive worked for me. Ensure that your path is correct and I would even try using an absolute path as a test.
