change the cpu architecture [message #179636]

Tue, 14 November 2006 11:06

Eclipse User

hi there,
I want to change the cpu architecture to ARM. I found some cpu
architectures in PE.java, Elf.java & DebugCongiguration.java files but how
to use it, because I want my final output for ARM architecture so for that
I am using ARM specific GNU tools, please tell me what should I do to
solve this?.

And also I am not able to bind libraries to my Managed make C project,
I have tried it from project properties -> C/C++ Build -> Tool Settings
-> GCC C Linker -> Libraries
under this I have tried both the options -l & -L but it gives me error
that "<path> ld: cannot find <file>.a file"
what should I do to solve this?

please help Me to solve both the problems

Thanks in advance
Parag

Parag,
One way to do it is to download and install the Eclipse ARM tools from Actel
called SoftConsole.

The other way is a bit harder.
Download the GNU C compiler, Binary tools and GDB from the GNU website.
Recompile them for the ARM processor.
Copy them into your default gcc directory.

Parag,
The wiki at http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/CDT/User/FAQ
has agreat deal of info on cross-compilers.

Parag,
Here is the CDT wiki:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/CDT/User/FAQ

Another option is to build a standard make project and build the makefile
yourself using the compiler tools of your choice.

Could you give an e.g. of what you tried for -l & -L ?
BTW, -L is used to specify the library path, & -l denotes the library name,
so you might need to give both.

Parag,
Check the news subject "C/C++ project problem by Mats Blide" topic and see
if it answers your questions.
There was enough info there to tell me how to use a cross-compiler.
I am currently using Eclipse for an ARM development myself and use it to
look at the binaries.
I haven't tried compiling it yet as we use an ARM compiler tool set.
The information provided by Derek Morris allows me to make the required
changes to use our compiler.
