Errors when using Gurobi with eclipse and C++

In my Gurobi folder I have 3 folders, that in my opinion are important: include (with .h files), lib (with .lib files and NO .so or .a files) and src (with .cpp & .h files).

include: I added the path to this folder to C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Cygwin C++ Compiler -> Includes -> Include paths, I guess this is for the compiler to see the .h files. I also added it to C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols -> Includes -> Include directories, I guess this is for the linker to see the .h files.

lib: I first added the folder path to C/C++ Build -> Settings -> MinGW C++ Linker -> Libraries -> Libraries (-l), however after searching online it seems to me this option only works for libraries with standard names and extensions.

It also gave me lots of errors about undefined reference to `GRBfreebatch', and so on.

Is there a way to use Gurobi with eclipse and C++? I would greatly appreciate even if someone just pointed out mistakes in my understanding.

  It is possible that you might have to recompile the C++ API library for compiler compatibility, see How do I resolve "undefined reference" errors while linking Gurobi in C++?
