Hello,

I am using Yocto to create an embedded linux application. I have add a tool from GitHub that is built using CMake and is written in C++. Every header file in the project is marked with .h and not .hpp. I have used the Yocto project to build this code and place it in /usr/lib and /usr/include as a library. My IDE can find the code, include it and interact with it.

My code in eclipse is a C++ project which using many files that are C++ or C in nature. When compiling this the library header files are treated as C and not C++. I get errors about basic C++ syntax.

Is there a way to tell eclipse to include this library as C++ and interpret it all as C++?
