Setting up Windows/Linux hybrid dev environment - Unresolved types in CDT 8.0? [message #724531]

I have been using CDT for editing source code on my Windows desktop for over a year now and I think it's a great IDE.

I am editing Linux C++ applications via a Samba share and using ssh to compile the code and it works pretty well. I have Cygwin installed on my Windows box and am currently using that toolchain in CDT. Since upgrading to CDT 8.0 my issues/questions are as follows:

1. std::string for some reason will not resolve despite the <string> header being included and present in the symbols/paths.
2. long64 will not resolve either
3. The above 2 issues are preventing code analysis from working properly.
4. Should I be using the Linux GCC toolchain? Does it matter? I was thinking about copying the gcc includes from Linux box over to my Windows machine and adding them so I would have the headers for <tr1/*>

From what I remember the bulk of these issues were not present in CDT 7.0.

Anyone else care to comment on my setup and perhaps suggest improvements?

Well I reverted back to Helios and CDT 7 and all these unresolved issues have gone away (even using the same workspace).

Well it seems that the post-build refresh is a show-stopper and was the main reason why I migrated forward to CDT 8.0. I guess I will have to keep on playing around with the settings to get it to resolve C++ symbols properly.

Is there a way to point my Update Site to CVS head or do I need to compile head manually? I imagine a lot of fixes have been made since the 06/08 release.

Thanks in advance.
