NoobsArePeople2 / Updating GCC Include Path for Eclipse CDT in Mac OS
Created December 14, 2012 06:01
"Include path not found (/Developer/usr/llvm-gcc-4.2/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin11/4.2.1/include)"
is an error you can get on Mac OS with Eclipse CDT after upgrading to XCode 4.3+. The reason this
happens is that Apple has removed the /Developer folder. This is a default value in CDT
that you can see by:
1. Right-clicking your project in the Project Explorer. Choose "Properties".
2. Click C/C++ General.
3. Select "Preprocessor Include Paths, Macros, Etc."
4. Select GNU C++ in the "Languages" pane.
5. Expand the "CDT GCC Builtin Compilter Settings".
