So working on getting my eclipse IDE going so I can develop my arduino uno in eclipse. My C++ is weak so this is probably a nube error on my part.
I have a blink program that looks for an arduino library I compiled from the arduino IDE's library. My code points to the header file and my code find it fine; meaning I can click on:
#include <arduino.h>
and go view the header
this: "C:/programs/arduino-1.0/hardware/arduino/cores/328p_lib/libuno_library.a" is a valid path... but I get the following error:
>****** Build of configuration Debug for project project1 ****
>make all
>Building target: project1.elf

Well after wasting 2 days or so of fun time I finally found the problem.

When adding the static library to the linker you have to remove the lib prefix and the .a suffix. not sure what that is about.
