Thanks to other peoples great work I managed it to make gcc work on a *nix box with codesourcery toolchain and eclipse.

First great thanks to Arthur Wolf and Adam Green who did a great job on making the mbed libs work offline.

thanks guys for that really great work.

second thanks goes to the guys on

http://mbed.org/cookbook/Using-mbed-with-gcc-and-eclipse

they made eclipse working for the mbed.

I sticked just this two works together.

To make it work first you have to follow the instruction on

http://mbed.org/cookbook/Using-mbed-with-gcc-and-eclipse

If you can compile some and it runs on your mbed you are half the way.

Then download

/media/uploads/jgnoss/mbed_eclipse_1st.zip

and unzip it somewhere in your $HOME but far from your eclipse workspace

Then go to your eclipse and create a new workspace. right click on the "Project Explorer" and click "Import"

expand "General" and select "Existing Projects into Workspace"

Click "next"

browse for the folder "mbedeclipse_1st" Just click the folder, don't go inside that folder.

click "Finish"

Compile it and copy the mbedeclipse_1st.bin from the Release Folder to your mbed.

If I didn't forget something your mbed's LED1 should start flashing after a reset on your mbed.
