How do I get android-support-v7-appcompat to build?

I added the "android-support-v7-appcompat" library to my eclipse workspace according to the instructions here: https://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/setup.html#add-library, but I can't get it to build...

No errors are listed under the "Problems" tab. I have Project > Build Automatically checked. I've tried cleaning the project, etc. But nothing is ever placed into the 'bin' folder. It just silently fails...

In my other project that reference the "android-support-v7-appcompat" project, I have the error:

The container 'Android Dependencies' references non existing library '/extras/android/support/v7/appcompat/bin/android-support-v7-appcompat.jar'

Any ideas why the appcompat jar file isn't being built?

android-support-v7-appcompat i think you access this library file from SDK folder not in your workspace, at time of import enable Copy project into workspace. - Yugesh

Yugesh's suggestion worked for me. I needed to select the "Copy project into workspace" option when importing the project using the instructions here: https://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/setup.html#libs-with-res.
