Linux SDK c++ project

Former Member

Hi guys,
do you know why it's not possible in SDK to generate a C++ project with a Linux software platform?
This is strange because c++ toolchain is actually installed!

Thank you all

    Hi LucaGallo,

    I tried doing this myself in 14.3 and I encountered the same problem there.  When the OS Plaform selection is Linux, the C++ Language option becomes unselectable.

    I know that you can build C++ applications for Linux by building outside of SDK.  In fact, I was able to build Iperf in order to perform some testing of the network interface by going this route.  For those interested, Iperf is an open source project hosted on SourceForge:

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/iperf/

    It was a little complicated at first because I needed to figure out the appropriate config command for building this with the CodeSourcery toolchain.

    Also, I needed to add the C++ libs to the root file system which required me to expand the size of the RAM disk to accommodate the appropriate library. 

    Despite the complications, getting a Linux C++ application to build and run outside of SDK definitely possible.  Maybe since the default RAM disk image did not appear to contain the C++ library, that is why SDK does not allow the creation of a C++ project by default? 

    Let me check and see if there is some sort of workaround to get SDK to do this after all.

    Regards,
