When you have configured eCos, you may build the configuration.
Build options may be displayed by using the BuildOptions menu item. This displays a dialog box containing a drop-list control and two windows. The drop-list control allows you to select the type of build option to be displayed (for example "LDFLAGS" are the options applied at link-time. The left-hand window is a tree view of the packages loaded in the current configuration. The right-hand window is a list of the build options that will be used for the currently selected package.
Note that this dialog box currently affords only read-only access to the build options. In order to change build options you must edit the relevant string configuration item.
A single level of inheritance is supported: each package's build options are combined with the global options (these are to be found in the "Global build options" folder in the configuration view).

The following dialog box will be displayed:

However if this information is not registered, or it is necessary to specify the location manually (for example, when a new toolchain installation has been made), select Tools Paths User Tools. The following dialog box will be displayed:
