So i have just began learning programming micros and decided an 8051 would be a good start. I have followed the instructions found here: https://github.com/rgwan/librech551/wiki/Setup-SDCC-developing-environment-with-Eclipse
My problems/questions are that it gives me an error "make: *** [stc.rel] Error -1073741515"
and tells me build failed, how do i fix this? Also where do i find the .hex file if it builds successfully? Sorry if i make stupid questions but i'm an complete noob.

Not a stupid question.

Setting up "Eclipse" can be a nightmare, using "Make" can be a nightmare,
putting the two together is worse.
Eclipse is too complicated and you don't need its fancy features.

Download the free 8051 compiler from
http://www.keil.com/
It is used by most 8051 users.

If you want to use a CH55x MCU there isn't any advantage to use Eclipse as there is no support for debugging on CH55x.

I've followed the guide here with success: https://github.com/Blinkinlabs/ch554_sdcc
