Indexer Question - Discovery? [message #174873]

I'm working on a large existing project. I want to use Eclipse with CDT.

- I have my directory structure with source files.
- There are a lot of subdirectories in this tree, and I don't want to add
them all one by one.
- How do I add directories to the indexer includes recursively?

I honestly thought it would all all the directories in the project.
Does it have something to do with not having run a make compile?
How does CDT indexer discover? It doesn't look in the build logs or
something does it?

Thanks in advance.

There's a discovery mechanism that parses the output of a build.

You should be able to import a build log, see project properties > C/C++
Make Project > Discovery Options.

I don't know how tied to make/gcc this discovery is if you are using
something else to build.

Discovery not disabled [message #183852 is a reply to message #174889]

In the Window->Preferences->C/C++->Make->New Make Projects->Discovery
Options, I have unchecked "Automate discovery of paths and symbols", yet
when I create a Managed Make C++ Project, I still get several default
(unchangeable) Include paths, which I do not want because I am trying to
set up a cross compile. Bug, or am I missing something?

Further testing shows that Managed Make project creation ignores the
Discovery Preferences (I assume which are supposed to be Workspace-wide),
while Standard Make project creation uses the preferences. This is also
the case when Discovery is enabled (and the generate scanner info command,
gcc, is replaced with the cross-compiler name), i.e. Std uses the enabled
prefs and Managed ignores them. I can see no reason why Managed Make
project creation should not make (ha) use of these prefs. Bug?
