Failure to build, using eclipse and Win8

Hi all.. I am new to both the arduino platform and eclipse (a gluten for punishment :).. everything seems to be in order, however the builds don't seem to build the targets, and they are in the build list...

I am using the examples as delivered in their original form.. made a project and tried to build..
What have I missed here?

Here's the log output:

**** Build of configuration Release for project BlinkBlink ****

Nothing to build for project BlinkBlink

Would probably be helpful to explain how you setup your environment, since Eclipse isn't a standard setup.

I set things up as follows.. I installed Eclipse Juno, downloaded and installed the Arduino 1.5.2 tree, installed the recommended plugin for eclipse, and the WinAVR-20100110 package.. Then I created a C++ project in eclipse for the example blink.ino, added it as a trget to the build, and attempted to compile/build it...

The resulting log output you see above is all I can get... no errors, just ignores the target, it seems.. there are no resulting binaries either..

Thanks for your interest..

Is this the plugin you are referring to:
http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=79595.0

It's probably best to post to that thread for help with your eclipse setup.

No, I did not use the one from the aforementioned thread... found it after I installed the one I have in now.. which I found poring over the arduino site pages,, but don't know exactly where I installed it from at this point.. I'll have to try and find out where it was... and then follow up with a post again.. my goodness this is fun :frowning:

It appears I have the AVR Eclipse plugin installed from sourceforge.net..
Perhaps this is not enough to do Arduino compiles and also need the Arduino Eclipse plugin from the site mentioned above.

Should I also install the Arduino plugin in addtion to the AVR plugin?
(Or remove the AVR and just onstall the Arduino one?)
