Set Build toolchain path

You can set a relative or absolute (resolved) way to define the build toolchain path. To configure the build path open the HighTec preferences settings from the menu Window  Preferences  HighTec Preferences  General.

ide resolve tool path general settings

When you set the Resolve tool paths in auto-generated make files option, the toolchain command path within the generated make files will be resolved as the absolute system path. Otherwise, if you let this option unchecked, the command toolchain path is generated as a relative path with respect to $(<ARCH>_TOOLS) make macro, where <ARCH> defines the toolchain architecture.

NOTE: In the second option (the Resolve tool paths in auto-generated make files option not set), the generated makefiles can’t be executed from the command line outside the IDE environment. Also the Build/Clean of selected source file(s) functionality will not work properly. See the Build/Clean selected source file(s) chapter for more details.
