4.3. Configuring the Cross-Toolchains

The earlier section, "Configuring the Neon Eclipse Yocto Plug-in", sets up the default project configurations. You can override these settings for a given project by following these steps:

  1. Select "Yocto Project Settings" from the "Project -> Properties" menu. This selection brings up the Yocto Project Settings Dialog and allows you to make changes specific to an individual project.

    By default, the Cross Compiler Options and Target Options for a project are inherited from settings you provided using the Preferences Dialog as described earlier in the "Configuring the Neon Eclipse Yocto Plug-in" section. The Yocto Project Settings Dialog allows you to override those default settings for a given project.

  2. Make or verify your configurations for the project and click "OK".

  3. Right-click in the navigation pane and select "Reconfigure Project" from the pop-up menu. This selection reconfigures the project by running Autotools GNU utility programs such as Autoconf, Automake, and so forth in the workspace for your project. Click on the "Console" tab beneath your source code to see the results of reconfiguring your project.
