Setting up the Workspace for C Projects

Setting up the Workspace for C Projects

Testing the environment
Building the C runtime system

Before you can start with C, some preconditions must be fulfilled:

- A C compiler must be installed on your machine (all tests and tutorials are based on MinGW) - The CDT-Eclipse plug in must be installed as the C development environment.

Once the CDT is installed, the C runtime and model library must be imported. ( File->New->Project->eTrice select eTrice C runtime / eTrice C modellib)

The resulting workspace should look like this:

Testing the environment

To verify the C tool chain you should generate and run the Hello World example program of the CDT. Activate the C/C++ perspective.

From the main menu select File->New->C Project.

Name the project. Select an Executable->Hello World ANSI C as project type, MinGW GCC as tool chain and click Finish.

Select the new project and click the build button (or right click the project and select Build Project)

The binary should be generated. Run the binary as Local C/C++ Application

Verify the output.

Remember these steps. In the following Tutorials these steps will be referenced as build and run.
