[yocto] Eclipse "Error creating session, Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>"

[Edward Ekelund]

I found that the cause of this is in the debugger settings.

To remedy this go Run->Debug Configurations->C/C++ Remote 
Application->YWHC_GDB_i586-poky-linux
Then select the Debugger-tab, and click on the pull-down menu with 
remote gdb/mi in it. The "GDB debugger" field will change from something 
similar to "<tool-chain 
root>/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/i586-poky-linux/i586-poky-linux-gdb" 
into simply "gdb". The "GDB command file"-field will change in a similar 
manner to ".gdbinit". Running the debugger should now work.
