Adding a linkage options part

A linkage options part describes how a generated EGL program implements calls and transfers and how the program accesses files. To add this type of part, do as follows:

  1. When you are working in the EGL or EGL Web perspective, open an EGL build file with the EGL build parts editor.

    If you do not have a file open, do as follows in the Project Navigator:

    1. Right-click on the EGL file
    2. Select Open With > EGL Build Parts Editor
  2. By default, the Outline view is open in the EGL perspective. If you are working in the EGL Web perspective, open the Outline view by selecting Show View > Outline from the Window menu. In the Outline view, right-click on the build file, then click Add Part.
  3. Click Linkage Options, then click Next.
  4. Choose a name for your linkage options part that adheres to EGL part name conventions. In the Name field, type the name of your linkage options part.
  5. In the Description field, type a description of your part.
  6. Click Finish. The linkage options part is added to the EGL file and the linkage options part page is opened in the EGL build parts editor.
