+Integration with Eclipse
|
|
|
+------------------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+While a part of the embedded Linux developers like classical text
|
|
|
+editors like Vim or Emacs, and command-line based interfaces, a number
|
|
|
+of other embedded Linux developers like richer graphical interfaces to
|
|
|
+do their development work. Eclipse being one of the most popular
|
|
|
+Integrated Development Environment, Buildroot integrates with Eclipse
|
|
|
+in order to ease the development work of Eclipse users.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Our integration with Eclipse simplifies the compilation, remote
|
|
|
+execution and remote debugging of applications and libraries that are
|
|
|
+built on top of a Buildroot system. It does not integrate the
|
|
|
+Buildroot configuration and build processes themselves with
|
|
|
+Eclipse. Therefore, the typical usage model of our Eclipse integration
|
|
|
+would be:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Configure your Buildroot system with +make menuconfig+, +make
|
|
|
+ xconfig+ or any other configuration interface provided with
|
|
|
+ Buildroot.
|
|
|
+* Build your Buildroot system by running +make+.
|
|
|
+* Start Eclipse to develop, execute and debug your own custom
|
|
|
+ applications and libraries, that will rely on the libraries built
|
|
|
+ and installed by Buildroot.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The Buildroot Eclipse integration installation process and usage is
|
|
|
+described in detail at
|
|
