MPLAB X IDE - how to get started

Hi,

Over the past days, I've been reading threads and googled around about MPLAB. So I installed MPLAB X v2.15.

I found enough info to install PBP 2.60 and set it as THE compiler; I'm using a PICKit2.

Following different tutorials, I created a project, set it up and this is where I'm stuck now.

I think I must now "build" the project to be able to program it into the PIC. But when I do so, I get following warning:

make: *** No targets. Stop.
BUILD FAILED (exit value 2, total time: 78ms)

What am I doing wrong?

Is MPLAB the only tool to debug my code?
