2. Select C/C++ Build in the Properties dialog box tree, and select Internal builder from the Builder type pull-down menu. Selecting the internal builder uses C/C++ Development Tools for NI Linux Real-Time, Eclipse Edition, instead of an external build file, to build the executable.
3. Expand C/C++ Build in the Properties tree and select Settings.
   
   • To set the configurations, select All Configurations from the Configuration drop-down menu.
   • Select the Tool Settings tab to set the compiler, linker, and assembler options.
4. Expand Cross GCC C Compiler in the Tool Settings tree. Select Includes and click to add the following:
   • Set Include Paths (-l)

     <National Instruments>\Shared\ExternalCompilerSupport\C\include

   • Set Include Files (-include)
     • nivision.h
     • NIIMAQdx.h
   
5. (Optional) Complete the following steps to improve the performance of floating-point operations:
   1. Expand Cross GCC Compiler in the Tool Settings tree and select Miscellaneous.
   2. If your system is ARM, select the Other flags text box, add a space after the existing text, then enter -mfpu=vfpv3 -mfloat-abi=softfp

      Note  x64 targets do not recognize this flag.

6. Expand Cross GCC Linker or Cross G++ Linker in the Tool Settings tree and select Libraries.

   Note  Cross GCC Linker appears if you are working in a C project, whereas Cross GCC++ Linker appears if you are working in a C++ project.

7. In the Libraries (-l) pane, click the Add... icon and add the following libraries:
   nivision, nivissvc, niimaqdx
8. In the Library Search Path (-L) pane, click the Add... icon and add a library path appropriate for the operating system:
   • Linux Arm7 32-bit

     <National Instruments>\Shared\ExternalCompilerSupport\C\arm\gcc

• Linux-x64

  <National Instruments>\Shared\ExternalCompilerSupport\C\lib64\gcc

9. Expand Cross GCC Linker or Cross GCC++ Linker in the Tool Settings tree and select Miscellaneous. In the Linker flags textbox, enter -Wl, --unresolved-symbols=ignore-in-shared-libs
10. Click Apply and then OK to close the Properties dialog box.
11. Select Project»Build Project in the workbench to create an executable of your project.
