Hi All,
I am working with the following configuration:
- Eclipse 4.14.0 on Windows 10
- Cross GCC compiler for ARM-LINUX (gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-i686-mingw32_arm-linux-gnueabihf)
- Internal builder
- Project generated as ANSI C - HELLO WORLD

Each time I run Eclipse (first time entering IDE) and press "Build", my program will be compiled correctly, having the following message:

10:08:36 **** Rebuild of configuration Debug for project TestApp ****
Info: Internal Builder is used for build

I'll "jump the gun" - since the post is incomplete.
You are probably missing DOING "Refresh" after "Build".
or setting "Refresh Policy"
Properties->C/C++ Build then Configuration tab -> Refresh Policy

BUT in theory - if you have elected a "Project" and did "Build.. " why is "Refresh "needed in first place.

Info: Nothing to build for <project> from the internal builder
means the executable is newer than the source.
If you were using the external builder you would get something like
make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.

Try doing a clean then a build.
If that doesn't work then get back to us.
