This option behaves differently depending on what the included file is pointing at:
- If the include string is pointing at a directory, the entire directory tree is copied over
to the src/ folder.
- If the include string is point at a header file (.h, .hpp, .tcc) - it is copied in the src/ folder
AND included in the main.cpp. This way the lambda code can access it.
- If the include string is pointing at a directory, the entire directory tree is copied into the
src/ folder.
- If the include string points to a header file (.h, .hpp, .tcc), it is copied in the src/ folder
AND included in the ``main.cpp`` file. This way the lambda code can access it.
- If the include string points to a regular source file (.c, .cpp), it is copied in the src/ folder
AND compiled into the binary. This way implementation of classes and functions in header files can
be provided.
