title: How to Cross Compile using Eclipse C/C++ IDE?
body: <p>I setup Eclipse C/C++ IDE on Linux desktop to cross compile programs on to a Linux RT platform using a GCC cross compiler.</p>
  
  <p>Now I am trying to set up Eclipse C/C++ IDE on Windows to achieve the same.
  But I run into issues when I try to set Linker options.</p>
  
  <p>Because on Linux, if I have to link a library <code>libABCD.so.10.0.0</code> I just have to add <code>ABCD</code> in linker options, and create a symbolic link <code>ABCD.so -&gt; libABCD.so.10.0.0</code></p>
  
  <p>Now, how do I solve the same issue on Windows, How can I create symbolic links on windows ?
  Directly specifying the absolute path of library didn't work as the compiler prefixes <code>-l</code> to library names (which can't be found).
