Eclipse CDT project built but “Launch Failed. Bina

Question

Windows 7, Eclipse CDT, Juno Service Release 2, Cross compiler.

Projects do compile executables generated, but Eclipse can't see them; therefore 'Run' fails. Executables are placed in Debug directory. Double click or command prompt call on compiled executable works without problem.

How can I solve this?

Answer 1

I've got the same problem on Eclipse 3.8.1. For me it worked to set the artifact type to executable:

Right click on the project -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Build Artifact -> Artifact Type: Executable

Finally rebuilding the project produced the Binaries entry in the Project Explorer.

Answer 2

in my case this is the solution to fix it. When you create a project select MinGW GCC from the Toolchains panel.

Once the project is created, select project file, press ctrl + b to build the project. Then hit run and the the output should be printed on the console.

Answer 3

press ctrl +B and then You can use the Run button.

Answer 5

On a Mac, If you also have a similar problem, as Nenad Bulatovic mentioned above, you need to change the Binary Parsers.

Press Command + I to open up properties (or right click on your project and select property)

Make sure you select Mach-O 64 Parser.

Answer 6

Make sure that the folder name does not contain .c extension. When I removed the .c extension in my folder name it worked automatically.
