(I'm not using Yagarto)

You did not read the instructions completly. Esp. the section "Eclipse 
C/C++ Development Tooling - CDT"

Copying JRE-files into the Eclipse directory should not be needed. Just 
install the Java runtime enviornment.

- Double check if "YAGARTO GNU ARM toolchain" and "YAGARTO Tools" are 
installed.

- Try without Eclipse first. Just open a "shell" (cmd.exe), cd to the 
directory with the demo-source and the makefile and type make all .

- Read the instructions from the Yagarto-site again - completly.

- if it still does not work show the output of arm-none-eabi-gcc 
--version and make --version and make all

Hi, I tried but i still get this when I built the project.

**** Build of configuration Default for project SAM7S256Test ****


(Cannot run program "make": Launching failed)

"Eclipse
C/C++ Development Tooling - CDT" - i already got it installed. Same for 
the toolchain and yagarto tools.

Can you build the project without the board present or connected to the 
board and test it?

One question: If u happen to start a normal C/C++ project, how can u 
configure the project later on such that it can build .exe application?

appreciate the help

thanks

Hi,

Martin, thanks.. I have solved the problem.

When i unzip the eclipse, the filename was in eclipse-platform-3.6.1-win 
32.

After i copied to C:\ and change the filename to C:\, i am able to build 
makefiles and create .0 file.

A question:
I came across this FAQ in the web:
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq8_22.html

The question is how do I create a library of object files?

so, right now, i know how to create .0 file by building a make project 
from eclipse IDE.

It says must use an Archiver utility to create a library.

So, in eclipse, any tutorial that teaches creating a library package 
using archiver utility?

so, is a .a file an equivalent ARMS version of a .LIB file in Windows?

If i manage to create a .a file, can i also link this .a file in Embest 
IDE?

thanks
best regards
brian

As explained in detail on the mentioned web-page and in short form in 
your previous thread in this forum. Just add the toolchain prefix (gcc 
-> arm-none-eabi-gcc, same for ar)

I don't know such a tutorial since I'm using makefiles for such tasks. 
Maybe someone else can jump in here.

If you don't like or don't know how to use make/makefiles you can just 
create a small batch-file with the calls of arm-*-gcc/arm-*-ar with the 
parameters mentioned on the "delorie.com"-page.

> so, is a .a file an equivalent ARMS version of a .LIB file in Windows?
Not related to "ARMs" .a is the usual "file-extension" when using GNU 
tools. (a for archive).

Did you ask Embest/read the IDE's manual? If the IDE calls tools from a 
GNU toolchain with at least similar configuration and versions for 
compiler and binutils this should work if linker-options can be 
configured in the IDE. For example if the library is called libmylib.a 
add -lmylib (n.b.: no "lib" prefix and not ".a" suffix) to the 
linker-options. You may also need to add the path to the .a-File using 
the -L option if it's not in the current build-directory of in the 
default library search-path.
