Tony - another way is to download the M7 (latest and so far the greatest)
version .zip file, unzip it - allowing unzip to create directories on the
fly, fire up the eclipse.exe and you are off to the races. All you need do
after that is tweak your environment options which are pretty intuitive.
Building from source ??? Why bother ???
