Toolchains
You can use the Toolchains function to quickly configure local and remote build of a C/C++ project. The GCC and LLVM build tools are supported.
A project runs remotely or locally based on the toolchain configuration used during build. (For example, if the local toolchain configuration is used during build, the project runs locally by default.)
Local Build Configuration
- Choose .
In the navigation tree on the left, choose to enter the page shown in Figure 1.
- Click + to add the Toolchains configuration option.
- On Linux, configure the toolchain to System, as shown in Figure 2.
- On Windows, configure the toolchain to MinGW, as shown in Figure 3.
- For details about how to configure the LLVM toolchain on Linux, see Figure 4. For details about how to configure the LLVM toolchain on Windows, see Figure 5.

Adds a toolchain configuration.
Deletes a toolchain. Select a toolchain and click this button to delete it.
After the toolchain takes effect, a piece of information is automatically generated under in the navigation tree on the left for build configuration.
Remote Build Configuration
- Choose .
In the navigation tree on the left, choose to enter the page shown in Figure 6.
