+# Build using command line tool
+
+## Declare project
+
+Use XDS command line tool named [xds-cli](../part-2/3_xds-cli/0_abstract.html) to declare your
+project from command line and more precisely the `projects add` command
+(short option: `prj add`).
+
+```bash
+xds-cli prj add --label="Project_helloworld-native-application" --type=pm --path=/home/seb/xds-workspace/helloworld-native-application --server-path=/home/devel/xds-workspace/helloworld-native-application
+```
+
+> **Note:** option `--url=http://localhost:1234` may be added to `xds-cli` in
+> order to set url of `xds-agent` in case of agent is not running on default
+> port (for example here, 1234)
+
+## Build from command line
+
+You need to determine which is the unique id of your project. You can find
+this ID in project page of XDS dashboard or you can get it from command line
+using `xds-cli` tool and `projects list` command (short: `prj ls`):
+
+```bash
+xds-cli prj ls
+ID                                       Label                                   LocalPath
+f9904f70-d441-11e7-8c59-3c970e49ad9b     Project_helloworld-service              /home/seb/xds-workspace/helloworld-service
+4021617e-ced0-11e7-acd2-3c970e49ad9b     Project_helloworld-native-application   /home/seb/xds-workspace/helloworld-native-application
+```
+
+XDS tools, including `xds-cli` are installed by default in `/opt/AGL/bin`
+directory and this path has been added into your PATH variable.
+
+If it is not the case, just add it manually using `export PATH=${PATH}:/opt/AGL/bin` command line.
+
+Now to refer your project, just use --id option or use `XDS_PROJECT_ID`
+environment variable.
+
+<!-- note -->
+**Note:**
+
+Short id notation is also supported as soon as given id value is non ambiguous.
+
+For example, to refer to Project_helloworld-native-application project listed
+in above command, you can simply use --id 40 instead of --id 4021617e-ced0-11e7-acd2-3c970e49ad9b
+<!-- endnote -->
+
+You also need to determine the ID of the cross SDK you want to use to cross build
+you application.
+
+To list installed SDK, use the following command:
+
+```bash
+xds-cli sdks ls
+List of installed SDKs:
+  ID                                    NAME
+  7aa19224-b769-3463-98b1-4c029d721766  aarch64  (3.99.1+snapshot)
+  41a1efc4-8443-3fb0-afe5-8313e0c96efd  corei7-64  (3.99.2+snapshot)
+  c226821b-b5c0-386d-94fe-19f807946d03  aarch64  (3.99.3)
+```
+
+You are now ready to use XDS to for example cross build your project.
+
+Here is an example to build a project based on CMakefile:
+
+```bash
+# Go into your project directory and create a build directory
+cd $MY_PROJECT_DIR
+mkdir build
+
+# Generate build system using cmake
+xds-cli exec --id=4021617e --sdkid=c226821b -- "cd build && cmake .."
+
+# Build the project
+xds-cli exec --id=4021617e --sdkid=c226821b -- "cd build && make all"
+```
+
+<!-- note -->
+**Note:** If you use `&&`, `||` or `;` statement in the executed command line,
+you need to double quote the command, for example `"cd build && make`.
+<!-- endnote -->
+
+To avoid to set project id, sdks id, url, ... for each command line, you can
+define these settings as environment variables within an env file and just set
+`--config` option or source file before executing xds-cli command.
+
+Note that XDS creates a file named `xds-project.conf` (only if not already exists)
+when you declare a new project using XDS Dashboard (or using `xds-cli prj add...`).
+Edit this file if needed and then refer it with `--config` option.
+
+For example, the equivalence of above command is:
+
+```bash
+# MY_PROJECT_DIR=/home/seb/xds-workspace/helloworld-native-application
+cd $MY_PROJECT_DIR
+
+# Edit and potentially adapt xds-project.conf file that has been created
+# automatically on project declaration using XDS Dashboard
+cat xds-project.conf
+  # XDS project settings
+  export XDS_AGENT_URL=localhost:8800
+  export XDS_PROJECT_ID=4021617e-ced0-11e7-acd2-3c970e49ad9b
+  export XDS_SDK_ID=c226821b-b5c0-386d-94fe-19f807946d03
+
+# Create build directory and invoke cmake and then build project
+xds-cli exec --config=./xds-project.conf -- "mkdir -p build && cd build && cmake .."
+cd build && xds-cli exec --config=../xds-project.conf -- "make all"
+
+# Or equivalent by first sourcing conf file (avoid to set --config option)
+source xds-project.conf
+xds-cli exec "mkdir -p build && cd build && cmake .."
+cd build && xds-cli exec "make all"
+```
+
+<!-- note -->
+**Note:** all parameters after a double dash (--) are considered as the command
+to execute.
