Hi all

I was wondering if it was possible to have the include path / libraries that are on a VM (Linux ubuntu 14.04) whilst developing in windows eclipse ?

And also if that is possible, can it be setup so that I am able to build on the VM and the output is outputted to eclipse ?

Thanks very much.

Great product btw.

The easiest way to accomplish what you're after is called VBox (Virtual Box). Run it in seamless mode and you will have very nice Dev env setup - with Eclipse window running under Linux, while being presented seamlessly with other Windows applications.

There are other, more awkward ways of setting it up - for example you could import all of the required Linux include files to Windows, export the source tree via CIFS (Samba) from Windows to Linux and edit code on Windows, while compiling on Linux.I am not aware of a way to feed the output of make on Linux into Eclipse on Windows, so you might have to manually navigate across files in Eclipse, if there're issues reported during compilation (at least you'd have the file name and line #)
