Check GCC documentation, likely you need to specify include directories using -I flag

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Directory-Options.html#Directory-Options

Hello @rana,

Here (http://karibe.co.ke/2014/02/setting-up-systemc-and-eclipse-for-c-hardware-simulation/) is a very detailed resource for setting up the Eclipse CDT IDE for SystemC related development.

Though it is mentioned using Linux but you can find the steps 6 through 10 necessary for setting the project configurations which are anyway platform agnostic.

Hope it helps.

Another option is to use https://github.com/Minres/SystemC-Quickstart  as a starting point. This gives you a cmake based project using conan to manage your libraries incl. SystemC (see README.md). Then you have 2 options (I call them 'Eclipse first' and 'CMake first'): either you install the cmake4eclipse Plugin (https://github.com/15knots/cmake4eclipse) via the Marketplace (https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/cmake4eclipse) or you use cmake to generate your Eclipse project files via

cmake -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" .

I personally prefer the first approach since the latter has one drawback: if you add directory or files you have to add them in CMakeLists.txt, run the generator again and the have an updated Eclipse project.
