Indexing of external includes not working [message #686643] Wed, 22 June 2011 12:31 Go to next message

I am building from within Eclipse and it was able to index my includes fine with Eclipse 3.5 but now with 3.6 it only finds the project sources and not the external one. How can i debug this and figure out why it's failing?

Btw - it looks like the list of Include Directories under C/C++ General/Paths and Symbol doesn't get populated anymore.

For external includes to be found you have to add the include path to Project Properties->C/C++ General->Paths and Symbols->Include

In case of a Makefile project external includes are found after the first build of your project (compiler output is scanned).

Alex,

This is indeed a Makefile project but building it doesn't seem to cause the includes to be populated. Any idea how I can debug what's happening?

Thanks,

Then you should add them manually
Project Properties->C/C++ General->Paths and Symbols->Include

Are you saying the dynamic discovery does no work in Helios and is not supported anymore?

No, it should still work. I did not encounter any problems.
Do you use the same project after the Helios update? Did you change anything? What are your settings in Project Properties->C/C++ Build->Discovery Options?

Hi Alex,

I'm using Eclipse 3.6 under windows so I added all the external include directories manually(same for 3.5).
Searching for references is working well in 3.5 however 3.6 doesn't always give back all of them(even if the symbols are listed in the index file).

FYI - I updated to Indigo (3.7) and recreated everything from scratch (workspace and src dir) and it works fine.
