Defining Device in Eclipse for HWlibs

As the question states I am having trouble defining the device in the eclipse DS-5 Arm client for use with HWlibs. I understand I have to add a preprocessor macro with the device, in my case soc_cv_av, but they changed the way the macros are added in eclipse. Here is the old way and how it looks in all the Altera guides found online:

However I suppose at some point they changed the interface since much of the project build setting are different so now it looks like this:

Requiring a symbol as well as a value. I've tried:

Symbol: -D Value: soc_cv_av

Symbol: -d Value: soc_cv_av

Symbol: ALT_DEVICE_FAMILY Value: soc_cv_av

Symbol: soc_cv_av Value: soc_cv_av

None of which did anything about the error. It's extremely frustrating. I was able to run a simple hello_world without HWLIBS but now as I am getting into using the bridges I need those files. I appreciate any help thanks!

    Hi FJumaah, sorry I thought I had responded to this. I was using DS5 5.28, GHRD was the one that came with Quartus 18.0. I cant remember the exact version of it though. I came up with a work around by using a makefile based project instead of a Eclipse managed one. Thanks though!

    Hello,

    Which DS-5 version are you working with, plus which GHRD version is that?

    Thanks
