In detail, what is the type of the project i should select executable/makefile/shared library/static library ?
in what menu, i should specify the ds-5 GCC toolchain ?

    sorry mate, for the confusion

    i am building on windows and i want to generate that application also for windows
    so as per your reply, DS-5 GCC supports linux application generation
    so, to generate applications for Windows, what is the toolchain required?
    will MinGW solve my problem?

    This post covers essentially the same question:

    Just to be clear, I assume that even though you are building on Windows, you are generating an application for Linux (the DS-5 GCC only supports generating Linux applications and libraries).

    For a Linux application, you can select either of the following from the New Project -> C Project dialog:
    • Project Type = Executable / Empty Project, Toolchain = DS-5 GCC
    • Project Type = Makefile project / Empty Project, Toolchain = DS-5 GCC
    The former creates a CDT managed project, where Eclipse/CDT works out what to build and how to build it. The later uses a makefile, and is useful if you want the ability to build your project outside of Eclipse. Note that the makefile project does not generate a makefile by default, but can be configured to do so with some additional steps:

    • Right-click on your project in the Project Explorer viewand click on Properties in the menu. In the Properties dialog, select the C/C++Build tab, and then ensure the "Generate Makefiles automatically" isenabled. Then click OK to close the dialog. Now when you build, the makefile isgenerated and the build should complete.
