I'm currently going through the technical note by f.e. on how to 

build externals on Windows using Eclipse. I've gotten to the point at 

p. 6 where Eclipse try to build the empty C/C++ project, and I get 

the proper message in the console, with "Nothing to build for project 

Unfortunately I do not get an Includes folder. Apparently something 

bad happened, and I will have to uninstall the CTD plugin and Cygwin 

My simple and stupid question is: How do I do that?

Unfortunately I do not get an Includes folder. Apparently something  
bad happened, and I will have to uninstall the CTD plugin and Cygwin  
tools, and redo the installation.

   1. Remove the CDT plugins
          * Navigate to the directory where the CDT plugins are
            installed (typically eclipse/plugins)
          * Remove the following plugins:

   2. Remove the CDT metadata

DON'T FORGET TO CLEAN THE REGISTRY. They say you *may* do it, but, with 
experience, i say you *must* do it.

I had your problem a lot of times before. Make sure you're installing 
things in the right order next time.
