This host where the tools are running is different from the target where the resulting program will run. This is not a procedure for running a compiler on the target Rasberry Pi device. This explanation assumes that you are running Eclipse on a Windows/Linux/Mac PC and are attempting to compile for a target Rasberry Pi device. Here is a link that may help explain the concepts. You should be able to configure the Cross GCC tool chain to get what you want.Ĭross compiling can be quite confusing so you need to make sure you have a clear understanding of the concept and terms particularly the difference between host and target. You most likely do not need to add a new tool chain to your Eclipse in order to build your program. Where does the 'subfolder ' 'arm-bcm2708' came from? How is its purpose / function defined and where ? Is this 'prefix' part of the 'toolchain' ?Īssuming 'tools' folder is part of Linux (kernel?) The standard ' Cross prefix' in Eclipse IDE is ' arm-linux-gnueabihf '. Preferably to newest Eclipse 2018-09 - using its layout and terminology. I need, like ro have, step by step instruction on HOW. I can add / modify these 'toolchains' or I should be able to ADD a new one using the downloaded 'tools' from git. I Eclipse terminology - I have can choose two 'toolchains' Cross GSS and Linux GCC.

I did try to 'implement' : this 'tool in Build-> Setting but got lost. The post is pretty old so I am hoping somebody can help me in implementing this on Eclipse. Interestingly, the gcc compiler in the same place did not work. Works to compile C or C++ code on my Pi Zero with Raspian Jessie.
