Include path not expanding when using path variable

Question

I create a new c++ project. Then right click on the project -> properties -> Resources -> Linked resources, where I defined a path variable : ``` MY_PROJ_ROOT <some_correct_path> ``` Then I went to compiler options -> Include options, where I tried to add include path combined with the path variable like this : ``` "${MY_PROJ_ROOT}/include" ``` but the include directory is not shown in the Include tab under the project menu. Instead of showing full include path (like for other includes), I get only this : `/include`. So, am I doing something wrong when using path variable to set include? What is the correct way? PS I checked paths, and everything I could think of, but nothing worked.

Accepted Answer

Finally I figured out :

Open project properties -> C/C++ Build -> Build Variables tab, and add new variables :

```
MY_PROJ_ROOT   <some_correct_path>
```

Then the variable is going to work for the includes tab.
