Hi,
I am using Eclipse CDT Oxygen with cmake projects for a yocto generated cross toolchain.
I am trying to get all the symbols issues to be resolved in the IDE display.
All the headers are now resolved but symbols like cout, std::ofstream, etc are not resolved in the display.
The project builds and works correctly using cmake and the yocto plugin, but the features of Eclipse like symbols resolution and name completion do not work correctly because the symbols are not resolved correctly.
Not sure what needs to be added to the project properties to fix this.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help everyone. Since it is free I am very happy not to get any help. The open source way!

Sounds like you are using third-party software with Eclipse CDT.
This forum is really for plain vanilla CDT.
You probably should direct your questions to the developer of those.
e.g., https://www.yoctoproject.org/tools-resources/community
There are two cmake plugins that I am aware of:

cmake4eclipse
cmake-eclipse-helper

There is also an editor plugin: CMake Editor

If You are using any of them you should ask their developers.

Lacking that, there are a number of places with info on using external libraries with CDT
http://www.eclipse.org/community/eclipse_newsletter/2013/october/article4.php
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30090071/how-to-add-libs-to-eclipse-cdt-managed-projects
and others.
NOTE: I am listing some results from a google search and am not necessarily endorsing any of them.

If you have specific questions about referencing external libraries outside of plugins
and can provide information about how you tried and failed
then we might be able to help.
As it is, your post is too vague.
