Cannot Access Tool Settings Tab [message #1820863]

I'm using Eclipse 2019.12 on Windows 10.

I need to use an older version of CodeSourcery compiler. I am cross compiling to Ubuntu Linux. I have the compiler on my Windows computer.

I have seen similar questions with responses on the forum about using the Tool Settings tab to point to the specific compiler I want to use but when I go to Project->Properties->C/C++ Build->Settings I do not see the Tool Settings tab, I only see Container Settings/Binary Parsers/Error Parsers.

Do I have something wrong with my install or setup?

I created the project using File->New->Project->C++ Project, pointed to the existing code on my computer.

Thanks

Works for me.
Somehow you ended up with Makefile project.
Makefile Projects don't have or need the Tool Settings tab because you manage the makefile.

If you really want a Managed Project, go to
Project --> Properties --> C/C++ Build --> Builder Settings tab
and enable Generate Makefiles automatically
Understand that the next build will then destroy any existing makefile.
