I'm creating some libraries with header (.h) files that I want to use in different projects.

I place the libs and headers each into global directories which I then point to in the normal way:
[Setup|Build methods]->INCLUDE directories
[Setup|Build methods]->LIB directories
and I add the specific library names to:
[Project|Package organizer]->(right-click)-New libraries ..

I the use #include "header-file-name.h" in my new project's source.

Everything compiles and executes fine.

The problem:
Theide does not show show the methods and objects when I reference them in my code. E.g.: if I have a class, say 'TestClass' with a public function, say 'TestFunc()' defined in "header-file-name.h",
and then create an instance in my new source 'TestClass tc;' then I would expect that when I type 'tc. ' that theide should list the public methods and attributes, in this case 'TestFunc()'.
It does not do so.
How can I fix this?

PS. I do not want to copy the headers into my new package directories - kind of defeats the purpose of having them centrally available. Please help.
