Code Building Error in Eclipse CDT for Player/Stage simulator - c++

Question

I am using Player/Stage for my thesis work. But, I am getting undefined reference error messages while I want to build this code in Eclipse CDT-
#include <iostream>
#include <playerc++.h>
#include <playerclient.h>
#include <clientproxy.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
PlayerClient robot("localhost",6665);
return 0;
}
The error message is:
08:40:02 **** Build of configuration Debug for project firstTest ****

I have followed this nice tutorial posted by Jenny- http://yorkroboticist.blogspot.com/2010/03/playerstage-on-eclipse.html
In this link you will get the snapshots of my Eclipse Project Properties:

I have tried a lot of ways to remove this error. but, all in vein. Please help me to continue my thesis.
With thanks

I have figured out the "undefined reference" problem.....
If anyone wants to use eclipse CDT for stage/player simulation, please follow these steps. I am assuming that you have installed the Player/Stage properly.
Go to Project Properties.
Expand C/C++ Build.
Click on Settings.
If you want to build C++ code, follow these steps-
Under GCC C++ Compiler, click on Miscellaneous tab.
There is a box named "Other flags". Paste this line(with ` symbols) on the box-
`pkg-config --cflags playerc++`
caution: Never edit the existing lines in the box. Just paste the above line beside the existing line with an space. And keep in mind ' and ` is not same.
Then, go to includes/directories(name may vary according to eclipse version) tab. There is an "include paths(-I)" box. click on add button and navigate to- Computer > usr > local > include > Player- x.x and press ok.
If you want to build C code, Skip number 4 instruction and follow these steps instead-
Under GCC C Compiler, click on Miscellaneous.
There is a box named "Other flags". Paste this line (with ` symbol) on the box-
`pkg-config --cflags playerc`
caution: Never edit the existing lines in the box. Just paste the above line beside the existing one it with an space. And keep in mind ' and ` is not same
Go to includes/directories(names may vary according to eclipse version) tab. There is an "include paths(-I)" box. click on add button and navigate to- Computer > usr > local > include > Player- x.x and press ok.
Now, The most important steps come here. Under GCC C++ Linker, click on Miscellaneous tab. There is a box named "Linker flags".
if you are using C++, paste the following line-
`pkg-config --libs playerc++`
If you are using C, paste the following line instead of the above-
`pkg-config --libs playerc`
Now, go to Libraries tab and there you will see "Libraries (-l)" box. Press add button and
If you are using C++, paste the line-
playerc++
If you are using C, paste the following line instead of the above-
playerc
Finally, there is a box named "Library search path (-L)" beneath. Click on add button and navigate to- Computer > usr > local > lib and click ok.
Thats it....... Now try to compile and build an example code. :) :) :)
