Eclipse cannot find <stdint.h> & <string.h> on Mac OS X

[Bee]

Hello everyone~

I'm setting up an eclipse and gcc development environment on Mac OS X following Vidar Berg's tutorial here:https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/tutorials/7/development-with-gcc-and-eclipse/

However, I met two problems.

1.According to the Import existing Eclipse project to workspace, I cannot import any of the example of the attachments. When I go to the folder of the makefile, nothing can be imported.

2.When I try to Create a new Eclipse project, according to the Enable auto discovery of symbols, include paths and compiler settings, eclipse solved some problem but still cannot find <stdint.h> & <string.h>, and no Key symbols appear. I can't find the reason.

Is there anybody know why?

Hi,

Q1: Did you download the "template project" for blinky located in the end of the tutorial and point to it? If you point directly to the standard SDK, it will not have anything else than a makefile, and eclipse will state it's empty.

Q2: These are standard includes, which shall be provided by the compiler. It's the eclipse c/c++ indexer that triggers, as this is not a path that is included in the Makefile.

You can add the path to stdint/string etc by adding a include in the c/c++ indexer: www.eclipse.org/.../article4.php

These are in the include folder to the compiler. I'm not sure where its located on osx by default, but on windows it's located here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools ARM Embedded\5.2 2015q4\arm-none-eabi\include

Cheers, Håkon
