Answered below! Thanks @drescherjm
I am having some trouble generating the initial red rectangle in gdstk. I have copy-pasted source code below into a "Hello World" default Project in Eclipse but am getting the above error. I assume its because I need to "point" or include the referenced header file or somewhere include it in list of things to look [in binaries for (much like and <stdio.h> live)]. I have looked in Eclipse's help menu on how to add to the pile of ".h" file headers, but seems help menu is broken there too.
C++ code in eclipse:
Project Explorer Window:
Adding in that I did eventually get it loaded in as a project (I think) from Git perspective tool within Eclipse but now when "building" I get the following error "No Toolchain". Original error has been surpassed by this one hahah.**
[No Toolchain found][3]
Tried some suggestions below *"change directory to the folder containing the CMakeLists.txt. Then type mkdir build and press enter then type cmake -S. -B build and press enter. This should build a C++ static library in the build folder
After that I got the following error:
(base) C:\Users\me>cd C:\Users\me\git\gdstk
(base) C:\Users\me\git\gdstk>mkdir build
A subdirectory or file build already exists.
(base) C:\Users\me\git\gdstk>cmake -S . -B build

I tried some more stuff and am now stuck here:**
