Hi Dar, One of the problems with the tutorial at the link I sent is that it's missing some text. There's a list of htree includes in that have to be inerted into the code but each one just shows the "#include" without the folloiwng text specifying what is to be included. I managed to figure it out from the wording but it took a while to figure out.
In answer to your question, I got as far as getting a successful build. It's at that point that the tutorial said I should be looking at a new stack in the IDE but none appeared.
