Hi,

did you try this with a sync project and the sync builder? Does it set the environment variables for a standard(/local) C++ project? It might be that we just don't properly set the environment variables for the sync builder.
I've tried both local and synched. I can't see that it does anything.

Sorry should have first looked at it again before writing. The environment variables tab is separate - got that confused. I don't think build variables is suppose to set environment variables (that's why those are separate ;-) ). For me it works if I use a variable in e.g. the include path (C/C++ General->Paths and Symbols) and set it in the build variables. It then shows up in the includes (if you have a Makefile project it of course only effect the indexer not the build). 
 

Cheers,

So I've begin studying the build slide in earnest, and I've discovered
that I don't know what "Build Variables" do ("Project Properties > C/C++
Build > Build Variables"). I've made several experiments to try and
observe their effects using different types of projects and I can't seem
to make them do anything (e.g. custom makefiles can't print their
values, managed builds also can't see them).

Googling indicates that they're supposed to affect environment variables
(they don't). However, if you select the checkbox that says "Show system
variables" the table is populated with environment variables, which is
puzzling.

However, I can easily change the environment variables with "Project
Properties > C/C++ Build> Environment".

Cheers,
Steve
