I am very new to Linux and Eclipse so I am looking for some help! I am struggling to properly cross compile to my Jetson Xavier (aarch64) through my Ubuntu 18.04 host PC (arm64). NVIDIA's only example on how to set it up from step 1 is from this article from 2017 (I cant add this link because I'm new but google: jetson nsight cross compile). The thing is this article doesn't talk about the Jetson Xavier, and the entire installation process on the Xavier has changed since then. I have also looked into NVIDIA's NSight Eclipse documentation (google: nsight eclipse documentation), however, I didn't find it to be useful.

Here is how I've been setting up my projects, and I will explain the issues that I run into:

The project I am working on involves capturing images from a camera. This camera comes with an API called Spinnaker from FLIR. Spinnaker API has a Linux Amd64 and Arm64 package. On my Host PC I have installed the Linux Amd64 package and am able to run all examples that come with it through terminal.
On my Xavier I have done the same, except I installed the Arm64 package.

From here I go to NSight Eclipse,
1. New C++ Project, name "Test", I select Cross GCC.
2. In "Select Configurations" I go to advanced settings and connect remotely to my Jetson Xavier.
3. In "Cross GCC Command"
I add my cross compiler prefix as: aarch64-linux-gnu-
I select my cross compiler path as: usr/bin
4. I then add my includes and libraries from the Spinnaker API to the properties of the project.
5. I copy paste an examples code for acquiring images into a new C++ source file in the project.
6. When I try to build the project on my host I get,

7. When I try to build the project on my target I get,

8. Now, when I go on my target device, the Jetson Xavier, and navigate to the project I can see that Eclipse attempted to cross compile and make the project. In my project Debug directory I see "makefile, objects.mk, sources.mk, subdir.mk, Test.d, Test.o"
What confuses me, and makes me think that I am doing something wrong with my includes/libraries, or something wrong with my cross-compiler settings is that if I run

: make clean

and then I run

: make

The project successful makes on my Jetson Xavier, and I can ./Test to successful run the example...
Is anyone able to walk me through what is going on here, and help me get this working properly?

It's more likely that someone familiar with these technologies will see you post on the CDT forum:
