Bare-metal project type not available / Altera Bare Metal GCC

I'm having several issues getting these tools to run. On one machine I can't get the license manager to work. Also, initially I didn't have any options to build bare metal project - and I'm using the embedded command shell to start the program. I finally found a link that tells you how to add toolchains via the GUI. So I've been able to create a bare metal project in the GUI, compile and run it in the debugger using the "arm-altera-eabi" tool chain. However, I wasn't sure how to get the board support package linked to the project. The only thing I can figure out is that you do it with a debugger script. Basically I've been using the "Altera-SocFPGA-HardwareLib-FPGA-CV-GNU-Debug" example to help me figure out what's going on. I've had lots of experience with the Nios and the software processor used by the FPGA guys from the other end of the alphabet but this is a different beast. I realize the best way to learn is to figure stuff on your own but I wish the documentation was a little more explicit.
