Architecture in Eclipse

How can I change architecture in Eclipse from x86 to pdp11, what flags do I need, and do I need adjust cross-compiler, thanks in advance

Solution

  • You can't since a PDP-11 is a 16bit computer it can't be equiped with the necessary resources to run eclipse ;-)

    EDIT: Sorry that I had the impression that this is somekind of fun question (now I have to give a more serious answer). Assuming you want to create C code:

    • You need to download eclipse CDT

    • and MinGW add the bin directory to you PATH

    • create a C project and edit the project properties "C/C++ Build" and set the required options for code generation see

    GCC PDP Options for options like

    -munix-asm
Use Unix assembler syntax. This is the default when configured for

    `pdp11-*-bsd'. 

    -mdec-asm
Use DEC assembler syntax. This is the default when configured for any

    PDP-11 target other than `pdp11-*-bsd'.

    Hope this helps. Maybe you need some additional packages for gcc, since I don't believe it comes with PDP features out of the box.
