Can't configure Indexer to recognize "forced-included" files (/fi parameter) [message #1059622]

Hi all,

I am using Eclipse Indigo with Visual Studio 2012, and the code I am working on creates a header file (with tons of macro denifitions) that is included into every other file by using the force include parameter (/FI).

I was able to successfully configure the build parameters, by adding the parameter "/FI<filename.h>" on Project Properties->C/C++ Build->Settings->C Compiler (cl)->Miscellaneous.

But it seems the Indexer can't find the macros on the (previously) automatically created file. As a result, Eclipse shows tons of syntax error and non resolved types/symbols, but I am able to build the executable.

So, I was wondering if there is any way to specify this include so the Indexer recognizes the macros on it.

Thanks in advance,

UPDATE:
I am actually using Eclipse Juno, but tried also with Indigo.

1) Open Windows->Preferences and go to C/C++->Property Pages Settings
2) Enable "Display Include Files on Paths and Symbols page
3) Open project properties and got to C/C++ General->Paths and Symbols
4) select tab Include Files
5) click Add button to add your header file filename.h (depending on your language you must add it for C and C++)

Hi Axel,

First, thank you for your help.

But I couldn't find the "Include Files" tab you mentioned, either on Indigo or Juno.

As you can see on these screenshots:

index.php/fa/15013/0/

Is there anything else I can do to enable it?

That's strange. It works for me on Juno. Did you try to close/reopen the project, restart Eclipse?
