Quick-start Tutorial

4.2.1 Defining your build tools

RealView Debugger provides support for multiple toolchains. The debugger can locate

your build tools automatically based on your environment varia bles or Registry entries.

You can use the default build tools in every project you create or to build source files

outside a project. However, you can override these settings for specific projects if

required.

To see the default toolchain:

1. Select Project→ Build-Tool Properties... from the Code window main menu.

This displays the Build-Tool Properties window shown in Figure4-1.

Figure4-1 Build-Tool Properties for a Typical installation

This shows a Typical installation where the ADS 1.2 toolchain is installed. If you

have installed a Custom configuration your window looks different.

When you are working with the Build-Tool Properties window, click on an entry

in the left or right pane to see a one-line text explanation in the Description field

at the top of the window. Right-click on an entry and select Detailed

Description... to see extended online help.

2. Select File→ Close window to close the Build-Tool Properties window.

The first time you open the Build-Tool Properties window, RealView Debugger copies

the file

install_directory\etc\genmake.loc

into your home directory ready for building

operations during your debugging sessions. This is updated each time you amend your

Build-Tool Properties window settings. You are warned before changes are saved in this

file, but you can restore all entries to the installation defaults if required.

This is all that is required to start your first project.
