hi all,
i stuck up with running a C program(project) on eclipse IDE,with out debugging.
i can able to debug with ARM cortexA8 RTSM,but unable to run it.
can anyone give detailed procedure for running the same.
by searching in the internet,all i get is for running cpp projects..using make file.
that procedure is not working for c projects.
it will be also helpful,if u explain make file and target building stuff related to c projects.
