Can't get into the Preprocessor Include Part of The Project Dialogue Box [message #1836482] Tue, 05 January 2021 17:17 Go to next message

I have a C project that when I right click and select properties, then go to C/C++ General | Preprocessor Include I get the following message:

http://www.apostrophe.co.uk/images/Preprocessor.png

I've cloned this from github, so I'm guessing on a Windows machine the project works, but on this Linux box I''m trying to get it to run on, there's an issue.

Is there a text file that the IDE pulls this info from that might be an issue? If so, where could I find it?

Is there anything else anyone can think of that might be the issue? Happy to provide any other info as needed.

Many thanks.

Things like added include paths are kept in the project info in the workspace.
Something like: <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.core/<project>.language.settings.xml

You could try deleting the metadata file but I'm not sure if it will be rebuilt.

It's probably better to delete the project from the workspace then re-import it.
Try: File-->Import-->General --> <one of the selections>
This will recreate the project in the workspace but may fail if the problem is in the .project files.

You may have to import it as a C/C++ project with existing code as a Makefile project.
If the project is not a Makefile project, then you'll have to create an empty project of the type you want and move the source into it.
