Hello,

What should I do so that in a standard "C" project in cdt (eclipse), I
will
have code completion with exteral libraries?
I want that I will have code comepletion witn (for example)
/usr/include/linux.
Should I go to "Project->Properties->C/C++ Include Paths & Symbols"
and use the Add external include path?
And in Window->preferences->C/C++/Indexer, should I use "No Indexer"
or "FULL C/C++" indexer (declarations and cross references).?

All what I tried did not work.And I spent a lot of time on
it.

I also tried with ctags and it did not work.
I am using latest updated version of eclipse and CDT.
I will appreciate if anybody will advice what should I do , step
by step.
Regards
Ian Brown

what does "external libraries" mean? you only can have completion if the
headers are available.
add the path to the headers to your projects include paths and chose full
or ctags indexer -- without indexer no completion.
