Include Discovery [message #840123]

Hi,

I have a custom toolchain that I have integrated with Eclipse CDT and everything is working fine as far as compilation goes.

However, standard includes such as stdio.h are highlighted as missing in the code editor (they are underlined to indicate this). This is only a display issue, since compilation works.

It seems that Eclipse already knows about standard MinGW locations because when MinGW is installed to C:\MinGW the includes are picked up from there. Any ideas about how I tell Eclipse about the location where my custom toolchain is located?

Thanks,
Alan

The Scanner discovery (see Project Properties->C/C++ Build->Discovery options) uses gcc with some special command line options (-E -P -v -d) to get the path to the system headers.
Here are some info

Hi Axel,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. That information was useful and I am starting to understand it.
