A (very) newbie C++ question: Is there a way to automatically add the standard libraries to a C++ eclipse project? I installed the CDT Main Features plugin.

What do you exactly mean by standard C++ libraries? – Alok Save Jul 29 '11 at 06:47

Eclipse CDT does not provide a compiler, do you have one installed? – Antonio Pérez Jul 29 '11 at 06:59

@Snappy - They are part of the compiler, so you don't have to install them separately. – Bo Persson Jul 29 '11 at 06:59

Visual Studio 2013 Preview is also a free option - if you aren't specifically trying to use Eclipse. It has its own compiler, however it's known to have some non-standard behavior. Otherwise, MinGW or Cygwin(with GCC and G++ options checked) are great if you're wanting to use Eclipse. – Ricky Mutschlechner Jul 16 '13 at 21:31

You can manually add paths to STL headers in Paths and Symbols -> Includes tab in Project Properties. This would enough for Indexer to resolve STL symbols properly.

2And don't forget to install a compiler, which would provide the actual STL header files :) – Antonio Pérez Jul 29 '11 at 07:33

Where are they located by default in Linux? /usr/include did not help – lahjaton_j Jan 13 '16 at 11:03

If you need a compiler, make sure you have a visual studio installed, or cygwin; If you install cygwin, be sure to install the gcc and g++ compiler options which are deselected by default.
Point eclipse to the installed files and you should be good to go.

1Might be worth mentioning MinGW as well for those who don't want a giant emulation layer. – Corbin Jul 16 '13 at 21:24
