Adding Include paths and symbols

For CDT projects you can define include paths and preprocessor symbols for the parser. This enables the parser to understand the contents of the C/C++ source code so that you may more effectively use the search and code completion features.

If Autodiscovery is enabled once a build has completed 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 standard make project and select Properties.
• Click C/C++ Include Paths and Symbols.
  
  
  
   
• Use "Add" button to define new element (Include Path, Symbol, Library path etc).
• Use "Edit" button to change selected element (Include Path, Symbol, Library path etc).
• Use "Delete" button to remove selected element (Include Path, Symbol, Library path etc).
• Use "Export" button to make selected element (Include Path, Symbol, Library path etc) exported.
• Use "Unexport" button to remove selected element (Include Path, Symbol, Library path etc) from export list.
• Use "Move up" and "Move down" buttons to set elements (Include Paths, Library paths etc) order.
