How to import gcc compiled C code in Eclipse? - c

I am facing some issues in Importing Old C code to Eclipse.
I have a huge C code which has multiple main files. The code compiles in Linux terminal using GCC. I am able to add the code and binaries into eclipse.
how to compile the code in eclipse saying this is my main file?
Atleast how to debug the code using a binary?(binary runs but unable to debug the code)
I want to try the second method of creating an eclipse project through the gcc compiler from the linux terminal.
System has eclipse helios version.(around 2010)

how do I run a C code using VS Code after installing gcc?

After installing gcc on my Windows PC, I tried running a simple C program but, I keep getting an error message saying
Unable to find executable for 'C\Users\Asi Polcarp\Desktop\Cprograms<executable.exe>'
This message is from VS Code.
# include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
printf("welcome");
}
first of all you need to put path of the GCC file to the folder environmental variables and try to compile it in the folder where you have actually put the path address.
In order to run C/C++ codes or most of other programming languages on VS Code I suggest the 'Code Runner' extension.

C - Not able to run a C program in any IDE (Tried with Netbeans and VSCode)

I installed MinGW compiler to run a C/C++ program. When I check the compiler version it shows this:
This is my MinGW directory:
This is my PATH setting:
I have set my PATH environment variable as follows:
%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\MSYS\1.0\bin;
Whenever I run my C/C++ project in Netbeans, it's giving me below error even though my program build is getting successful:
Please help me to fix this issue.

C with Eclipse on Ubuntu: why is an .exe and no linux executable created?

I am using Neon.3 Release (4.6.3) Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers under Ubuntu 15.5. When I build an run my C-program the program
the program executes without any errors/warnings
delivers the expected output in the eclipse-console
and generates an .exe file in the the debug folder
For me it is very much surprising that an .exe file is generated using an Linux OS (I thought these files can only be created under Windows?). How can I configure Eclipse to generate a typical Linux-executable instead?
Many thanks!
Extensions don't matter much in Linux. You can name an executable something.exe and it won't change how it runs...

Why Eclipse CDT does not automatically link libm.so?

I wrote a program containing functions from math.h and clicked on Build All in Eclipse CDT in Ubuntu. No binary was generated. When I built my program from the terminal including the -lm flag, it worked. My guess is that Eclipse CDT did not include the -lm flag when building the source code.
So assuming my guess is correct, why doesn't Eclipse do this by itself? Do I have to change a setting or is there an obstacle that prevents Eclipse from looking at the code and including any necessary libraries in compilation? Or if my assumption is wrong, what might caused Eclipse to not generate a binary?

How to run a Simple C Program in Eclipse IDE

I've downloaded Eclipse C/C++ IDE . I need to run a simple c program in this(To print welcome).
While trying to run the program its popping up an error message like "Launch failed: Binary not found" .
Need i install any compiler package. ?
Please help me to do this.
Yes, you have to install a compiler, Eclipse is only an IDE. You can get MinGW here.
http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/
Look at the above link,you will get more idea,on how to do development using C/C++ using eclipse.
You can make use of the documentation which comes along with the IDE.
Just on the start up window in Eclipse click Tutorials and then click on c/c++ development link and then read Before you Begin part.
The program you write must be converted into respective binary which is to be run on that particular architecture.This process is carried out by the compiler as a result compiler is required for eclipse IDE to compile and link the code .
Various compilers are available such as Microsoft Visual C++ MinGW GCC or Cygwin GCC in the form of chaintools in eclipse so as to compile the code.
Eclipse is an IDE.It will help you write applications in c/++,but it will not compile your program as Eclipse does not comes with a compiler pre-configured.
You need to install a compiler to run your application.
Eclipse is capable to use many c/c++ compilers,some are:
1.Cygwin
2.MingW
3.Gross
4.Microsoft Visual C++
I would advise to install mingW OR Cygwin.
