preproccesor define in header file missing when header file included [message #207695]

Good day,

IŽm trying to define the log4cpp library as a project in Eclipse CDT and
IŽve found the following issue.

There is a header file with creates some defines depending on the platform
this header file is later included in oder header files to define what is
to be compiled and what is not. Till here is the usual stuff.

The problem is that the #define within that config header file appear as
not define in any of the header that includes the config header file.

In oder words what ever Macro I define (i.e. #define VARIABLE_FLAG 1)
will be define in that file but it will as it has never been define in the
files
that include that header file. :-S

Is there something IŽm missing here because this beheiviour doesnŽt sounds
any good to my.

Thanks in advance
Javi

Just on additional information that may be important.

When I drag and drop the .hh file in the Include Browser the following
message appear.

This file 'Portability.hh is currently not part of the index.

Although it should be.

Cheers,
Javi

..hh is not a file extension that CDT recognizes out of the box. You
will have to add it to the list of content types and also tell the
indexer to index all files.

The version I have from Eclipse does recognizes .hh but just to double
check I changed all the header files to .h extension and still got the
same issue.

Macros are seen only in the header file that define them but not in the
files that include that header file.

Any other idea?

Thanks!

Header files which are not included by a source file, are by default not
indexed. Enable the option "Index all files" in the project properties
or the preferences.

Another reason for this issue could be an incomplete include search path
(see the Paths and Symbols property page).
