If you are trying to set up Eclipse please have a look at this blog post: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../

Yes, Eclipse is including a wrong one: On SDK 8 variable BLE_GATTS_SYS_ATTR_FLAG_SYS_SRVCS is defined on sdk\components\softdevice\s110\headers\ble_gatts.h But not on sdk\components\softdevice\s130\headers\ble_gatts.h And for some reason compiles uses S130.

Yes that was rather important information to have left out - makes the question entirely different.

Simplest and most obvious explanation is that your header include path is pointing at the wrong (old) SDK instead of the current one. e.g.

BLE_GATTS_SYS_ATTR_FLAG_SYS_SRVCS

is only defined in ble_gatts.h in SDK 8 so I'm pretty sure you're including the wrong one. Either you have some links wrong, or you haven't copied the SDK into wherever you're building from or you have some hard-coded paths in Eclipse.

I forgot to mention that I am using Windows 8.1 and Eclipse Luna. So the problem seems to be in my environment.

it works perfectly for me right out of the install by just typing make

$ pwd
/Users/rols/Code/nordic/nrf51/nRF51_SDK_8.0.0/examples/ble_peripheral/ble_app_hrs/pca10028/s110_with_dfu/armgcc
 $ make
rm -rf _build
echo  Makefile
