There are many solutions to this, but I did post some suggestions on a thread in the old forum some time back.
https://forum.beagleboard.org/t/re-beagleboard-ide-eclipse-for-beaglebone-on-windows/2433/6
Ex:
Try downloading the gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-i686-mingw32_arm-linux-gnueabihf toolchain and set the Cross Settings to reference this:
https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest-7/arm-linux-gnueabihf/
Just unpack the file and reference it in Eclipse.
Ex:
Prefix: arm-linux-gnueabihf-
Path: “Path to the toolchain”
Ex:
PATH: H:\Development\BeagleBoard\Toolchain\gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-i686-mingw32_arm-linux-gnueabihf\bin
NOTE: Since the BB is 32 bit ensure you are selecting a 32 bit toolchain.
Set Tool Chain Editor to:
Current toolchains: Cross GCC
Current builder: CDT Internal Builder
This works for me with Eclipse 2019
