Code Completion in Eclipse CDT using FreeType2

I'm currently programming a C++ Project which uses Freetype2 in Eclipse CDT. I like the automatic header parsing and code completion of Eclipse. However Eclipse fails to parse the standard FreeType2 include code:

#include <ft2build.h>
#include FT_FREETYPE_H

Eclipse doesn't understand that FT_FREETYPE_H is a macro pointing to a header file and therefore doesn't parse it and add its tokens to auto completion. Since Eclipse doesn't know the tokens I use in my code it signals lots of errors in the code. However the code compiles without a problem. Is there a way to get eclipse to parse those FreeType2 header files?

Simply replacing FT_FREETYPE_H with the include file it points to is not an option, because the same include technique is used in the FreeType2 Headers, which I don't want to edit.

Try right-clicking your project, go to Properties -> C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols -> Symbols. Then define (for your compiler type) FT_FREETYPE_H as your actual header file name.
