From IGEP - ISEE Wiki
Overview
This How-To is meant to be a starting point for people to learn to compile C programs using ECLIPSE IDE installed in IGEP SDK v3.0 Virtual Machine as quickly and easily as possible. In this how-to, we use:
- VMware or VirtualBox virtualization software
- IGEP SDK v3.0 Virtual Machine RC2 with ECLIPSE IDE
- IGEP BOARD with Ethernet communication (for example IGEPv2)
- MANUAL IGEP SDK v3.0 VM
- Hello world example for ECLIPSE
Getting started
First at all, you should read MANUAL IGEP SDK v3.0 VM and follow the next instructions:
- Install your Virtual Machine
- Install your Virtual Machine Guest additions
- Prepare your Rootfs in your Micro SD Card
- Connect to your IGEP Board using Ethernet Commnication
- Build programs using ECLIPSE IDE
ECLIPSE IDE
Eclipse IDE is a software development environtment. This software package is very popular because you can extend its functionalities installing pluggins. At IGEP v3.0 VM Eclipse includes Linux tools and Yocto plugin to develop C applications for IGEP firmware.
Source code C applications can be compiled in Eclipse using a simple Makefile or Autoconf tool. Autoconf tools can be useful if you want to develop a huge application with a lot of dependencies.

ECLIPSE IDE
At "Getting started chapter" you compiled some source example programs for ECLIPSE that use Autoconf
