Changing Build Properties

The Microcontrollers New Linux/uClinux Application Project wizard creates a set of build properties for the project. You can modify these build properties to better suit your needs.

Perform these steps to change build properties:

  1. Start the IDE.
  2. In the CodeWarrior Projects view, select the project for which you want to modify the build properties.
  3. Select Project > Properties.

    The Properties window appears. The left side of this window has a properties list. This list shows the build properties that apply to the current project.

  4. Expand the C/C++ Build property.
  5. Select Settings.

    The Properties window shows the corresponding build properties.

Note: To build any Linux/uClinux application debug projects, ensure that the CodeSourcery GCCs are located on your machine. Usually they are located in the Cross_Tools folder in the CodeWarrior installation. Also, you must ensure that you have two environment variables defined for the two GCCs: Embedded Linux and uClinux. CFGCCUCINSTALLDIR referring to the bin folder of the CodeSourcery uClinux GCC install directory. CFGCCINSTALLDIR referring to the bin folder of the CodeSourcery GNU Linux GCC install directory.
