Adding Include paths and symbols
For CDT projects, you can define include paths and
preprocessor symbols for the parser. This lets the parser understand the contents of the C/C++ source code so that you can more effectively use the search and code completion features.
If Autodiscovery is enabled, after a build finishes, any
discovered paths and symbols will be displayed in the Discoverd Paths
section. You can also define the properties on a per project basis in
the C/C++ Projects or Navigator views.
To add include paths and symbols:
- To set properties for your project, right-click your CDT
project and select Properties. Alternatively, to set properties
for a specific source file in your project, right-click a source file
within your make project and select Properties.
- Expand C/C++ General and select Paths and Symbols.
Click here to see an illustration (displayed in a separate window).
- Click Add to define new element (Include Path, Symbol, Library path etc).
- Click Edit to change selected element (Include Path, Symbol, Library path etc).
- Click Delete to remove selected element (Include Path, Symbol, Library path etc).
- Click Export to make selected element (Include Path, Symbol, Library path etc) exported.
- Click Unexport to remove selected element (Include Path, Symbol, Library path etc) from export list.
- Click Move up and Move down to set elements (Include Paths, Library paths etc) order.
