Yocto SDK Autotools static library project [message #1796411] Fri, 12 October 2018 10:03 Go to next message

Hi,

After successfully installing Eclipse Photon CDT and Yocto SDK I'm trying to create a cross-compilation static library project.

While creating projects I'm able to create Yocto Project SDK Autotools projects:
_ Empty C++ Autotools Project
_ Hello World C++ Autotools Project

HelloWorld projects compiles well and executes on target.

I looked for Properties>C/C++Build>Settings>Build Artifact tab but it doesn't appear in HelloWorld project properties ...

I hoped to change it from executable to static library that way ...

I read that starting from Empty project is a bad idea ... too many settings ...

Am I missing something obvious or looking for something foolish ?

Thanks.

Not so much foolish as not understanding what Autotools does.

Autotools creates the makefile which controls the build.
Properties --> C/C++Build --> Settings --> Build Artifact
only make sense when Eclipse is building the makefile.

You need to change the Autotools configuration to change the targets.

A debt of gratitude is in order for the enlightment. I'll investigate this.
