   1. In the Project Explorer view, right-click the C++ project that you created, and click Properties.
   2. Expand C/C++ General and select Paths and symbols.
   3. On the Includes tab, under Languages, select GNU C++, and then click Add.
   4. In the Add Directory Path window, click Workspace.
   5. Select the include folder from the C++ project, and then click OK.
2. Configure the source location for the C++ project.

   4. Select the Link to folder in file system option.
   5. Click Browse to select the SPL Project/impl/src as the source directory.
3. Configure the build directory for the C++ Project.
   1. In the Project Explorer view, right-click the C++ project that you created, and click Properties.
   2. Select C/C++ Build.
   3. On the Builder Settings tab, make sure the Generate Makefiles automatically option is not selected.
   4. In the Build directory field, specify SPL Project/impl as the build directory.
4. Optional: Build the C++ project automatically when a .cpp or .hpp file is changed:
   1. In the Project Explorer view, right-click the C++ project that you created, and click Properties.
