 The xxxxxxxxxxxxxx should point to suitable headers. In particular on a 64-bit system the system headers might be incompatible and cause errors. The first attempt should be to keep the defaults, and if any errors appear, it needs to be changed to /usr/include/newlib (or wherever there's a suitable 32-bit library). While newRPL will not link to or use the library in any way, some standard headers are expected to provide definitions. The xxxxxxxxxxxxxx should point to suitable headers.

 From the bottom of the screen, check the 'Compile Output' pane to see if everything went well. There might be some warnings, but there should be no hard errors. There could be many warnings, depending on your version of gcc and your system these warnings change all the time but they are harmless. From the bottom of the screen, check the 'Compile Output' pane to see if everything went well.
