I am beginning to use Eclipse Ganymede with CDT at work. Unfortunately, all of our C++ headers use a .h extension. Eclipse thinks these are C headers and flags them with lots of syntax errors on things like classes and namespaces. I've tried to change the file type association, but it's "locked".
Interestingly, "*.h" is associated with both C and C++ headers, but it seems to be using C. How can I get Eclipse to treat .h files as C++?
Try creating a new project and specify your source area as the location. However, be sure you select C++ project (I usually use the makefile option). This is all you should have to do in order to make the parser recognize C++ syntax.
Hello,
I have the same problem. I wrote my C++ code in vS 2005 and now I want to continue on Eclipse. However when I open an empty C++ project in Eclipse and put all my cpp and h files in Eclipse, it gives meaningless errors about including header files and even tries to compile commented code and gives errors/warnings! Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this problem? I should note that my code does not have any dependence to any sort of VS 2005 libraries, etc... therefore it should have been straight forward to use Eclipse.
Thanks.
