  1. Create a custom library using the New Library Project wizard. For more details, refer Creating a Library Project.
  2. Select the project for which you want to include the custom library, in the Project Explorer view.

  4. Expand the C/C++ Build property.
  5. Click on Settings.
  6. Under Tool Settings tab, expand the gcc compiler list.
  7. Select Directories to change the add the library header file path. You can now include the required header files from the library project to the application.
  8. Expand the gcc linker list.
  9. Select Libraries to add the custom library and the library path to the application project.
