oh..and if you look at step 4, I'm not sure what the make line adds. because as the post points out, the Eclipse IDE (even with the GNU ARM plug-in) does not "see" a makefile. Meaning these need to be manually kept in sync... i guess i could import/export include paths (since this seems to be xml...)but i would think this would happen automatically since getting all the include locations for the nrf51 sdk is a bit time consuming..

i'm bumbling through this post: blog.blecentral.com/.../ which edits the make file...and using the example ble_app_uart_s110_pca10028 ...note: not working yet. but perhaps a "good" starting place?

I must be using an old makefile.

Should be at line ~179 after the "# Create objects from C SRC files" comment

Search for the $(NO_ECHO)$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(INC_PATHS) -c -o $@ $< line in the makefile.

I can't find that line in my makefile.

CDT is capable of parsing the include paths and pre-processor definitions from the build output with the right project configurations; First you need to increase the verbosity level of the build output so that '-I' for includes and '-D' for symbols are being printed out. This is done by editing the default makefile:

Search for the $(NO_ECHO)$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(INC_PATHS) -c -o $@ $< line in the makefile.
Add this to the line above: @echo arm-none-eabi-gcc $(CFLAGS) $(INC_PATHS) -c -o $@ $< and remember to use the same indent.

Then you can enable the CDT output parser by following the steps described in the "Enable auto discovery of symbols, include paths and compiler settings" section in this Eclipse tutorial.

Path for makefile project is in the makefile itself. Path in Eclipse is for Eclipse project. They cannot be mixed
