Errors in resource files when using ActionBarSherlock 4.1.0

Question

I successfully compiled ActionBarSherlock in Eclipse.

But I get 75 errors when I use it in a new project:

abs4.1.0\library\res\values-v14\abs__styles.xml:4: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:Widget.Holo.ActionBar'.

abs4.1.0\library\res\values\abs__styles.xml:88: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:showDividers'.    

MainActivity.java:

package com.stackoverflow.users.comfreek.testproject

import android.os.Bundle;
import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockActivity;

public class MainActivity extends SherlockActivity {
  /** Called when the activity is first created. */
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.main);
  }
}

I already set the activity theme to @style/Theme.Sherlock.

Make sure you've set your API level to 13.
