Eclipse #ifdef error using JNI, Android NDK and Vuforia - eclipse

With Vuforia's ImageTargets sample application, I tried using OpenGL ES 1.1 by setting USE_OPENGL_ES_1_1 to true in jni/Android.mk and uncommenting and changing the corresponding line in AndroidManifest.xml (). After converting the project so that it has a C++ perspective and associating ndk-build and the proper include directories, I could successfully run the application on my Android device.
However, the problem is that once I open up jni/ImageTargets.cpp, I get several errors from Eclipse, all from places where OpenGL ES 2.0 code would execute, the first one being:
Description Resource Path Location Type Symbol 'vertexHandle' could
not be resolved ImageTargets.cpp /ImageTargets/jni line 402 Semantic
Error
Sure enough, vertexHandle is defined at the top of the ImageTargets.cpp, inside the "#ifdef USE_OPENGL_ES_2_0" block. Because USE_OPENGL_ES_2_0 is not defined (per Android.mk), the code should be able to compile successfully, and sure enough, ndk-build does not report any problems. So it seems that only Eclipse reports the problems and when I run the project, Eclipse says, "Your project contains error(s), please fix them before running your application." And thus, I cannot run my application anymore. In a sense, it's kind of strange that this never occurred until I opened ImageTargets.cpp and Eclipse "discovered" the errors.
The best work-around I've found so far is to just delete or comment out those lines (that should not be causing problems because USE_OPENGL_ES_2_0 is not supposed to be defined)... Is there a better way to deal with this problem? Did I miss a setting in Eclipse that should solve this?

I've found a solution: go to the project properties -> C/C++ Build -> Discovery Options -> Check "Automate discovery of paths and symbols"

Build and Deploy Code on STM32F4 Using Eclipse IDE

I had a problem while deploying code into my STM32F4Nucleo boards using Eclipse and I wanted to share the solution for public benefit.
The problem is that the build process was working however when it comes to deploying the code into the microcontroller the system was stuck, further I was not able to debug the device. The step over and resume buttons were greyed out in the debug perspective.
Later I realized that it was due to the naming of the startup code of the MCU. For example in my case the name was,
startup_stm32f401xe.s
I forgot to capitalize the "s" in the extension of the file. When you rename it as,
startup_stm32f401xe.S
then recompile, both debugging and the code deployment issue was solved.
Just FYI,

Another way of doing so is modifying which file extensions are recognized as source files which then get compiled and linked. You can do so here on the workspace level:
or under project settings under C/C++ General -> File Types if you prefer to do so only for specific project(s).

Running an OpenCV program with Eclipse

I'm trying to run a simple example of OpenCV on Eclipse [which was perfectly buit and installed before (using CMake and MinGw), even libraries and all includes are in place !].
When building, I'm getting no errors or warning, all seems good, but when I try to run, I get a message as if the project had no Binaries, even if all binaries are there. I even specified the path to the ".exe" (run->run conf-> new launch-> browse ...etc.).
You can notice on the images attached that the project is built and the binaries are generated.
Notice: when I run an example of a (Hellow world) on the console ... it displays the messag without errors.
I read a lot on Internet before posting here, but I found nothing that matches to this case.
Thank you so much,

"Errors exist in the active configuration..." Eclipse Dialog when Debugging

An "Errors exist in the active configuration of project X. Proceed with launch?" dialog appears while debugging code in Eclipse. Hitting the "Proceed" button results in successful debugging. There are no apparent errors with the launch configuration. A similar Run Configuration does not generate the error.
This is caused by an invalid path somewhere in your Eclipse project settings. There are a couple common sources for this kind of error.
You're working on a shared (version controlled, copied, etc) project where someone has hardcoded a path that doesn't exist on your machine, or uses an environment variable that you've not set.
Sometimes, you can find the offending path by looking at the full list of Error messages. If not, look in your project file.
The Discovery Options in your project properties has 'Automate discovery of paths and symbols' enabled - but the process is generating an error.
If you're using a version of Eclipse that warns you this option is deprecated, uncheck the option to disable it and fix any includes in 'Preprocessor Include Paths' instead. If not. . .try it anyway.
Depending on your path changes, restart Eclipse and try again.
It starts the executable that was built last before you broke the build. That executable will be older then your source files. The reason you were able to debug is because your line numbers did not change for the code you've debugged - e.g. you may try break in main then introduce a compilation error and move main a couple lines below - the debug will highlight the wrong lines when it stops.

Using an ANTLR Lexer For Syntax Coloring: Module excluded from the target platform error

I'm new to Netbeans Platform Development and following this tutorial.
When I try to build the project I get this error:
Module org.netbeans.modules.editor.util excluded from the target platform
There are apparently no errors in the app.
I'm using
NB 8.0
JDK jdk1.7.0_45
OS Win 8.1
What might be going wrong?
UPDATE:
Somehow the module was excluded via the disabled.modules in the platform.properties properties file.
When i comment it out (or remove it), it runs but gives this warning
Regards,
I nailed part of the problem. The error occurred because of unresolved dependencies.
I went through the tut again on a Linux Mint with NB7.4.
Now I get no errors but facing yet another problem. Now as I open a file, it opens the file but the Cookie Editor disappears.
I'm expecting someone will help on the second Issue.
Moderators: I'm not sure how will you guys respond to this but I've no clue how to go about my half solved problem.

How can I fix this Android SDK build problem in Eclipse?

I am using Eclipse for Android dev and everything was going fine until I tried to incorporate the facebook SDK. Now when I tried to back it out, there appears to be an artifact left behind that Eclipse tries to link the FB library?!?
[2010-11-17 18:50:22 - Library Project] Unable to set linked path var '_android_com.facebook.android' for library /Users/mobibob/Projects/workspace/facebook-android-sdk/facebook: Path variable name cannot contain character: ..
Any clue where this command / reference is in the build configuration? I have scoured it as best that I can, but I still get the same error.
Problem solved ... as it turns out, it was not so much the Facebook SDK but something that I did in the process of configuring the library reference. I am not entirely certain of how I misconfigured, but I was tweaking the various "path" settings such that, once when the automatic build tried to build my project, an import for android.R was added to my source module. This superseded com.myproject.R and would not resolve the values for resource references.
There were other problems with path order and setting that I modified during the troubleshooting that made it worse. Recreating the project without Facebook was the first step to discovery and fixing.
Either way, the lesson I learned is that the build error messages can misdirect one to the configuration when the problem is in the source code.
