Indexer of external include files and from other projects [message #207737]

I'm running Eclipse 3.3.1.1 and CDT 4.0.2 on linux

I'm wondering how does the parser find external include files cause it
doesn't seem to work for everything for me.

For example I'm using a Standard make project and on 1 I have libxml2
installed in /usr/include and on another I have it under /usr/local/include

I have gotten it to work on the machine where it's placed in /usr/include
but not the one where it's in /usr/local/include

So where should I add the path for it to make the parser find it?
And is there any other setting that might cause the parser to no be able
to make it work?

The question on related project is: Is there a way to only include part of
a of another project, and will that lessen the load on my computer?

In order to make the include files available to the indexer you must add
the include directories you wish the CDT to index.

Project Properties->C/C++ General->Paths and symbols->Includes[tab]->Mark
GNU C++ and click Add. Chose File system and browse to the directory
containing the include files.

Is it possible to add a include directory to several projects at once?
