1. Download all the necessary software and files. This includes:
  - The latest Arduino software package [1], which includes all the pre-made C++ files that make arduino run, as well as the simple Java GUI aimed at non-programmers. Once the other files are installed, this is the only file you'll need from now on!
  - AVR-GCC, which is the compiler for the AVR-series of microcontrollers (heart of an Arduino). For Windows users, get WinAVR [2]
  - The Eclipse C++ Language IDE [3], where you will be doing your coding and uploading the code to your Arduino! Eclipse requires that you have the Java Runtime Environment [4] installed
  - The AVR-Eclipse Plugin [5], which provides the functionality the Eclipse IDE needs to talk to your Arduino
2. Extract the files for your Eclipse IDE into its own dedicated folder. Then, extract the files for the AVR-Eclipse plugin into the same folder (or copy the contents into that folder).
3. Create a C++ Project in Eclipse, and use the following settings;
  - Make the project type a "AVR Cross Target Application"
  - Ensure "Debug" is UN-CHECKED when selecting Build Configurations (and ensure "Release" IS CHECKED)
  - When asked for hardware details, make sure you select the correct frequency (typically 16000000 Hz) and the correct microcontroller, according to your arduino type [6]
4. Extract the latest version of the arduino software from their website. Copy the entire '\hardware\arduino\cores\arduino' folder into your project folder. Now that Eclipse is installed and the plugin is configured, from now on this is the only folder needed to start new Arduino projects from scratch!
5. Create a main.h file that declares void setup(), int main() and void loop(). include "WProgram.h" (with quotes) in this header as well; this links it to all the arduino code
6. Fix compiler-errors in arduino software. As of arduino v0018, this will include the following changes;
  - main.cpp; delete "#include " at the top, and ensure your "main.h" is included instead
  - Tone.cpp; change the last two includes, & , to have quotes instead of brackets ("wiring.h" & "pins_arduino.h")
  - Print.h; the function declaration "void function(int inputs) = 0;" must be changed to "void function(int inputs);", or in other words delete the "= 0" so its not a pure-virtual function
