Adding New Folders to C Projects about cdt

[jonahgraham]

I think there may be some terminology confusion here, not quite sure.

A "source folder" in CDT is a folder that the sources are in, these are folders that are indexed, including for build, etc.

They can be configured in the project properties

These source folders appear at the top level all the time.

Includes need to be somewhat manually managed if you want that folder to be explicitly listed as a -I folder. This is done where you are describing, in the "Includes" tab under C/C++ Build

What I think you want to enter in the Includes tab is something like "${workspace_loc:/${ProjName}/src/inc}". The magic bits should be filled in automatically by pressing the Workspace button when adding a new include.

Here is a screenshot showing all of it in one place.

Hopefully the above either answers your question, or provides the starting point to ask me a clarifying question.
