How can I find the location of C++ packages like boost, glew, etc. that don't have an associated command to add to include paths?

The problem is it does not find the standard library headers like stddef.h! There is an open issue about this. Try this Discourse thread as well.

  Bear is a tool that generates a compilation database for clang tooling.

Rather than hard-coding paths manually, it's better to use your build system (which already finds the includes, or you'd have a bigger problem) to export them for you into a compile_commands.json. Cmake has a built-in flag for this, for other build systems you can use bear instead.

There's no need to copy anything by hand! ccls can read compile_commands.json directly: https://github.com/MaskRay/ccls/wiki/Project-Setup
