I'm trying to override a variable named UNAME in an external Makefile for cross compiling purposes. My trys were UNAME and @UNAME in "Build Variables" and "Environment".

Thanks in advance

Uli

Two possibilities:

First is modifying the make target.

make UNAME = RASPI

This does the job but you do need two different make targets (in Eclipse) if you want to compile for two platforms. Crying or Very Sad

Second change the declaration in the Makefile.

UNAME? = default_value_if_not_set_in_environment

Now an "Environment Variable" (not a Build Variable) with the same name, set in an Eclipse "Build Configuration", overrides UNAME. Very Happy

Attention! Only one of these is needed!
