You could probably start with the \FreeRTOS\Demo\ARM7_LPC2106_GCC demo (there is a web page describing it somewhere on the FreeRTOS.org site) to get something building using a makefile, or FreeRTOS\Demo\ARM7_LPC2368_Eclipse to get something building using Eclipse (again there is a web page for this somewhere) although both of those demos are very old, and most of the instructions on building under Eclipse will be obsolete as Eclipse has moved on a long way since then.
The FreeRTOS website is specific to FreeRTOS, so you won’t find general programming tutorials, like how to set up a tools chain to use GCC with Eclipse. I’m sure Google will find you lots of links, and NXP themselves have an Eclipse IDE called LPCXpresso - although you may find it only has projects and Wizards for their more recent microcontrollers.
