5.2.4. Building the Project

To build the project select "Build All" from the "Project" menu. The console should update and you can note the cross-compiler you are using.

Note

When building "Yocto Project SDK Autotools" projects, the Eclipse IDE might display error messages for Functions/Symbols/Types that cannot be "resolved", even when the related include file is listed at the project navigator and when the project is able to build. For these cases only, it is recommended to add a new linked folder to the appropriate sysroot. Use these steps to add the linked folder:
  1. Select the project.

  2. Select "Folder" from the File > New menu.

  3. In the "New Folder" Dialog, select "Link to alternate location (linked folder)".

  4. Click "Browse" to navigate to the include folder inside the same sysroot location selected in the Yocto Project configuration preferences.

  5. Click "OK".

  6. Click "Finish" to save the linked folder.
