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

Hi, thank you for the replay. Yes I read all the answers before making a new one, but still not able to know the reason. I have set the Build tools folder to: /usr/bin and the Toolchain folder to: /some_path/gcc-arm-none-eabi-5_4-2016q2/bin

I also tried using the GNU toolchain for ARM version 4.9 but no luck.

Hi ndr. First you can check if you set the right build tool folder. If you are using Mac OS X, the correct path is /usr/bin.

I am having the same issue. I don't know if I should post a new question or write here, but I'll give it a try here first.

So, the project builds without problems. The only problem is that eclipse is unable to resolve the inclusions. I went through the tutorial a couple of times and I am quite sure that I double checked everything. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Thank you, Vidar. I've solved the problem. The reason is that my build tool folder: /usr/bin/make is wrong. The correct path is /usr/bin. Thank you for your reminding.

Sounds like it is related to the project setup since the example projects work. Unfortunately it is a bit hard to pinpoint what setting is wrong. I would suggest to compare your project settings against the working one and see if there are any differences that may be relevant.

I set Eclipse global preferences like this: Build tool folder: /usr/bin/make Toolchain folder:/usr/local/gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_9-2015q3/bin I'm not sure if it's right because this is a mac os x path. But I'm sure both the examples you gave in the tutorial works fine, no problem.

hm, please make sure you have set the correct path to your toolchain in preferences -> C/C++ -> Build -> Global tool paths. On my windows system it is C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU Tools ARM Embedded\4.9 2015q3\bin

Sorry, I have to tell you it won't work. I have to Macs, a Mac mini and a Macbook Pro. Both of them met this problem and I'm sure I just followed that tutorial. Are there any other potential reasons?

Paths to the standard libraries should be added automatically if you enable CDT Built-in Compiler Settings Cross ARM as described in the "Enable auto discovery of symbols, include paths and compiler settings" of the tutorial.

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
