[vtkusers] best IDE for VTK and C++ under linux

[Michael Jackson]

For Eclipse CDT code completion to work CDT MUST be able to find all  
of the include directories and files. Eclipse does this 2 ways:
   Automatically: CDT will scan the compile commands and look for -I  
flags, take the arguments from those flags and add those paths to the  
"Paths & Symbols" table for indexing.
    Manually: YOU have to add every folder that you want indexed into  
the "Paths & Symbols" table in the Project properties: Right click on  
Project->Properties->C/C++ General->Paths and Symbols.

Once the entries in that table are entered correctly then you can  
force a rebuild of the index by again right click on the project- 
 >Index->Rebuild

Hope that helps.

If you are using CMake for your project and using either the Eclipse  
generator or just plain makefiles then manually creating your projects  
then you can add "VERBOSE=1" to the "build command" in the "C/C++  
Build" preferences to have cmake output the full compile command.
