How to index external folder? [message #1836227]

I have a project that is referencing CppUTest as an external library. The library and the header files are not located in my project's root folder. To make the compilation work I have the following C and C++ compiler flag:

$(CPPUTEST_HOME)/include

And I have the following on the linker "Libraries" section:

index.php/fa/39604/0/

The project is compiling just fine and everything works. It is just that I don't know how to configure eclipse so it can index right. I'm having these indexing errors in the CDT editor:

index.php/fa/39605/0/

Is nothing functional but it is annoying and I'd like to fix the indexing if possible.

How do I configure eclipse so it indexes the external folder?

By changing the settings in Project --> Properties --> C/C++ General --> Preprocessor Include Paths, Macros etc.
Perhaps this article will help.
