<div role="main"><h1>Adding Include paths and symbols in Managed Build System</h1>
<p>For CDT projects, you can define include paths and
preprocessor symbols for the parser. This lets the parser understand the contents of the C/C++ source code so that you can more effectively use the search and code completion features. </p>
<p>If Autodiscovery is enabled, after a build finishes, any
discovered paths and symbols will be displayed in the <strong>Discovered Paths</strong>
section. You can also define the properties on a per project basis in
the C/C++ Projects or Navigator views.</p>
<p>To add include paths and symbols:</p>
<ol>
<li>To set properties for your project, right-click your CDT
project and select <strong>Properties</strong>. Alternatively, to set properties
for a specific source file in your project, right-click a source file
within your make project and select <span
style="font-weight: bold;">Properties</span>. </li>
<li>Expand <strong>C/C++ General</strong> and select <strong>Paths and Symbols</strong>.
<p><br><a href="javascript:void(0)" onClick="newWin('../images/c_paths.png')">Click here to see an illustration (displayed in a separate window)</a>.</p><br>
</li>
<li>Click <strong>Add</strong> to define new element (Include Path, Symbol, Library path etc).
</li>
<li>Click <strong>Edit</strong> to change selected element (Include Path, Symbol, Library path etc).
</li>
<li>Click <strong>Delete</strong> to remove selected element (Include Path, Symbol, Library path etc).
</li>
<li>Click <strong>Export</strong> to make selected element (Include Path, Symbol, Library path etc) exported.
</li>
<li>Click <strong>Unexport</strong> to remove selected element (Include Path, Symbol, Library path etc) from export list.
</li>
<li>Click <strong>Move up</strong> and <strong>Move down</strong> to set elements (Include Paths, Library paths etc) order.
</li>
</ol>
