No CDT Parser Database? [message #102170]

I cannot get any C searches to work.

I am trying out CDT for the first time with C. As far as I can tell
nothing is being parsed at all. Adding large directories of include files
does not cause the system to pause at all. I am not doing a managed make
project. The documentation says nothing about what to do to build the
parser database, except how to enter include paths, and symbol definitions.

I am using eclipse 2.1.3 and CDT 1.2 on Windows 2000 with j2sdk1.4.2_03.
I tried 3.0M8 and 2.0M8, but the project wizard for CDT never showed up
when I tried to make a new project (just java projects), so I can't make a
project on 3.0M8.

CDT 1.2 has significant problems wrt getting search to work. There are a
bunch of implicit include paths and macros you need to set up for GCC in
order to get search working on system header files.
We have addressed much of this in 2.0 by adding a Scanner Discovery feature
which figures these things out for you.

You should be able to create a project on M8 ... usually C/C++ is not in the
default list of project types, you have to check a box that says something
like "Show all" in order to get it.

Not even the Show all check box allows it, CDT has to be installed
separately.
as in Help > Install and update. That is my experience with M8 on OSX.
