Proper way to add c++ includes to eclipse

I normally use eclipse for java, now I need to do some cpp stuff. I'm using vcpkg for dependency management and cmake to build by binary:

cmake CMakeLists.txt "-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$VCPKG_CMAKE"

which is working fine. However, eclipse cannot find these dependencies and what I did was:

and added 

$VCPKG_HOME/packages/$SOME_PACKAGE/include

which works i guess, but there has to be a better way to do this?

I want to include (make available to eclipse) all that can be found at:

$VCPKG_HOME/packages/*/include

so I added cmake4eclipse add built the project with that, under project properties added under:

c++ build / cmake4eclipse / symbols(tab)

CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$VCPKG_CMAKE

and that sorts that out.

You could probably just add include as described above to the path:

$VCPKG_HOME/installed/x64_linux/include

or something like that depending on your OS. Haven't tried that dough. For help on cmake4eclipse you should checkout eclipse help / cmake4eclipse
