The console should update and you can note the cross-compiler
you are using.
+ <note>
+ When building "Yocto Project ADT Autotools" projects, the Eclipse
+ IDE might display error messages for Functions/Symbols/Types
+ that cannot be "resolved", even when the related include file
+ is listed at the project navigator and when the project is
+ able to build.
+ For these cases only, it is recommended to add a new linked
+ folder to the appropriate sysroot.
+ Use these steps to add the linked folder:
+ <orderedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Select the project.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Select "Folder" from the
+ <filename>File > New</filename> menu.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ In the "New Folder" Dialog, select "Link to alternate
+ location (linked folder)".
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Click "Browse" to navigate to the include folder inside
+ the same sysroot location selected in the Yocto Project
+ configuration preferences.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Click "OK".
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Click "Finish" to save the linked folder.
