Setting EGL general preferences

The EGL general preferences identify the default names of folders that are created for you in each EGL project.

Do as follows:
  1. From the main menu, click Window > Preferences. The Preferences window opens.
  2. In the Preferences window, click EGL.
  3. If you want to change the folder names, edit the following fields in the EGL folders group:
    • Source folder name identifies the folder in which you store EGL source files. The folder typically includes one or more packages.

      The default folder name is EGLSource.

      When you are working in a specific project, you can rename a source folder and create new ones.

    • Output folder name identifies the folder to which the EGL compiler writes intermediate representation (IR) files in XML format. The file extension is .eglxml.

      The default folder name is EGLBin.

      When you are working in a specific project, you can rename an output folder or specify a new default name in the EGL preference. The effect in either case is to retain a version of the IR files that were in place at the time you made the change. Future output is placed in a folder that has the name specified in the EGL preference.

  4. To save the changes and remain in the Preferences window, click Apply. To save the changes and exit the window, click OK.
