IAR example project wont link from eclipse IDE

I tried importing the IAR example (STM32-P405) using the eclipse plug-in but was unsuccessful, I kept getting an exception. I don't remember exactly what the exception.

So then I duplicated the project in Eclipse. I was careful to include all of the libraries and get all of the settings to match.

Now I am able to compile but unable to link. It's complaining about missing definitions. I've followed the includes through the code and I don't see any reason why those would not be included. As far as I can tell they are included... but I don't see them building. It's complaining about things in the STM32F4xx_StdPeriph_driver/inc directory.

It didn't occur to me those wern't even building until just now. I'll look to see why they aren't building.

Review Include Paths passed to the compiler

Review the Defines passed to the compiler

These may be things stored in the project settings or metadata

IAR creates the workspace in a subdir of the project but depends on some things in the parent directory to be built. I created the Eclipse project in the same subdir so all the necessary libraries were excluded from the build. I moved the whole project up a directory and after a significant amount of fighting I was able to get it to build.

I sure with the import function worked.
