Ubuntu :
Set required environment variable inside /etc/environment
and restart the machine. This will set environment variable which can be inherited inside eclipse workspace. Above method will set the environment variable for all the users. To set environment variable for individual user set the required variable inside <user home>/.profile
file. While doing so please make sure you use export
keyword before variable. Alterante option to use .bashrc
to set those environment variable, here as well you need to prefix export
keyword.
Note: here is some issue to set D_LIBRARY_PATH
through /etc/environment
refer for workaround.
MAC OSX : (tested on maverick
): Set required environment variable inside /etc/launchd.conf
(setenv PROJECT_HOME <Project home location>
) and restart the machine.
