Change environment variable before compiling [message #604634]

Hello,

I'm developping an Eclipse plugin for my own compiler. It may not be a link with this problem but I created a custom toolchain to enable to set particular options...

The compilation is ok when I add my compiler path in the PATH environment variable before launching eclipse. But, it would be interesting to change this path in Eclipse to compile with another version without restarting the IDE.

I tried to change the environment variable in the C/C++ Build > Build Variable but it did not solve my problem (compiler not found). It works when I replace my compiler by gcc.

My question will probably seem basic, it sounds that these tools are useful for that but I can not use them... Can anyone tell me how to do that ?

Thank you in advance

Allright I found the solution. It was such simple that I found somebody could help me.

To do that, I had to set the build variable in the C/C++ build > Environment, and not in C/C++ Build > Build Variables !
