#How to create a RODOS-Application with Eclipse

1. Download and install Eclipse for C/C++ Developers

2. Create the folder of your project

       mkdir myProject
       cd myProject
   

3. Run the following command

       git clone https://gitlab.com/rodos/rodos.git  
   

4. Create your first .cpp-file, e. g. myHello.cpp

5. Create CMakeLists.txt in the project folder with the following lines:

       add_subdirectory(rodos)
       add_rodos_executable(myhello myHello.cpp)
   

6. Don't name your application test, it will cause problems. For more details about Cmake, read README-cmake.md.

7. Create build-folder:

       mkdir build
       cd build
   

8. Run the following command:

       cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../rodos/cmake/port/posix.cmake -DEXECUTABLE=ON ..
   

9. Now start Eclipse

10. Get your project into Eclipse by doing the following and choose the folder myProject:

    File > New > Makefile Project with Existing Code

11. Right-click on your project and click on Properties

12. Go to C/C++ build and add /build to the build directory.

13. Build the project.

14. Right-click on your project and navigate to Run as > Run configurations

15. Click on C/C++-Application and choose your C/C++-Application with Browse. It is located in /myProject/build and should by called myhello.

16. Now you should be able to run your programme.
