can't browse C++ code [message #219096]

I "imported" a new c++ project based on the existing code. But when I try
to browse the code, it would not work at all. It won't go to the
definition of the function and it won't show the call graph. I read the
FAQ about how to bring the existing code to eclipse, followed directions,
tried different ways, but none of them worked.

Please help. I was able to browse imported java code before (of course I
was using the java version of eclipse).

OK - I think a little more information would be needed to help you...

- what did you try in particular? The FAQ says all and nothing...
- did you add the include directories to your C/C++ settings? (Project
settings / Paths and symbols / Add... -> check all languages)
- did you try to use full indexing instead of fast indexing? (in the
project settings or in the window preferences, type index in the type
filter text)
- what kind of CDT/Eclipse do you use?
- did you open the c/c++-file with the C/C++-Editor (right-click on
file, open with C/C++-Editor)?
- did you look at the Problem's view or the Error Log window?

Please post if you get this working. Your problem sounds an awful lot like
what I was running into.
