====Creating the static Library in Eclipse====
Choose New C++ project as project typ choose static library.
Disable debug configuration press advance configurations.
In both Cros GCC and G++ compiler make the following changes.<br>
Under preprocessor add:
* _MACOS
* _NDEBUG
* Bulleted list item
NDEBUG
Under includes add:
* ${workspace_loc:/${ProjName}/include}
* ${workspace_loc:/${ProjName}/src}
Under optimization choose:
* Optimize more (-O2)
Under Miscellaneous select:
* Verbose (-v)
* Position Independent Code (-fPIC)
Under other flags have:
* -c -funsigned-char

The all option field for Cross GCC and G++ compiler should look similair like this:
 -D_MACOS -D_NDEBUG -DNDEBUG -I"/Users/jacob/Dropbox/_9RPLidar/crossLidar/rplidar_sdk-v1.10.0/include" -I"/Users/jacob/Dropbox/_9RPLidar/crossLidar/rplidar_sdk-v1.10.0/src" -O2 -Wall -c -funsigned-char -v -fPIC

For Cross GCC Assembler also add the includes under general.
* ${workspace_loc:/${ProjName}/include}
* ${workspace_loc:/${ProjName}/src}

The all option field for Cross GCC Assembler:
 -I"/Users/jacob/Dropbox/_9RPLidar/crossLidar/rplidar_sdk-v1.10.0/include" -I"/Users/jacob/Dropbox/_9RPLidar/crossLidar/rplidar_sdk-v1.10.0/src"

When create import the include and source directory. Using file system
Then remove the not used architecture directories, i.e. on a Mac remove win32 and linux
====Creating new program in Eclipse====
Use the above settings.<br>
Add in Cross G++ Linker under Libraries, in the libraries (-l) sections
* Bulleted list item
rplidar_sdk
In the Library search path (-L)
* ${workspace_loc:/rplidar_sdk/Release}
