Hi I'm trying to build my project using eclipse. I've got it working by choosing "Export"->"GNU ARM Eclipse" from the cloud IDE. This builds OK. However, this leaves me with an un-versioned export of the mbed-os source code.

What I'd like to do is replace this library with a git-clone of the mbed-os repository, so I can remain in sync with bug-fixes etc.. However, when I try replacing the mbed-os library folder in the project with a clone of the git repo, it won't build any more (billions of errors). I guess I need to do something to configure the repo clone but I've no idea what.

What do I need to do to replace the Cloud IDE exported mbed-os with a clone of the mainline repo?

I'm using the vanilla gcc-arm toolchain, eclipse-4.7.3 with gnu-mcu-eclipse plugins on fedora-28 linux 64-bit. I'm building for a LPC1768 module.

Can anyone explain a bit more clearly how to build the github repo? Thanks, BC

OK, I've got this working now. In case anyone else cares, I had to browse the whole mbed-os folder tree and exclude-from-build all folders for other TOOLCHAINS and TARGETs except the ones I want. Seems the export-from-cloude IDE already does this as the exported project only contains the folders for the target/toolchain it was configured for.

I.e. I'm building for GNU_ARM, so I exclude all folders matching TOOLCHAIN_* except TOOLCHAIN_GNU_ARM. Similarly, I exclude all TARGET_* folders except those which match my target device (LPC1768).

I wonder if there's a more efficient way to do this except by manual browsing the tree (maybe mbed-cli can help?). Now the excludes are set, I guess it should be easy to maintain.

Seemed that you can select the MCU you are using, then only the folder of the MCU you selected is remaining, like this
