How to make a run configuration in eclipse using CDT - c

I'm trying to compile a code i made in C in Debian using CDT for Eclipse and i'm having the famouse Binary not found error when i try to compile the code. I already build the code by pressing Ctrl+B and the Debug folder appears, and the code doesn't have any syntax error, but the error still there. After that i tried to make a run configuration for my project but i'm not sure about what to put where it say's C/C++ Application. Which is the best configuration for this problem?
I'm using Debian Squeeze, Eclipse CDT and GCC as compiler

If you have successfully built your project and have an executable you can run (no build errors, project properly configured as executable), just press a "search project" or "browse" button in "debug configurations" dialog and point it to your executable.

Eclipse CDT using CygwinGCC toolchain cannot debug if app links with dll?

Why wouldn't my Eclipse CDT find an x.dll where I specified via
C C++ General/Paths and Symbols/Libraries (this is the lib name without extension x)
C C++ General/Paths and Symbols/Library Paths (this is full path to dll)?
I'm on Windows 8.1, using CygwinGCC toolchain, debugging via gdb.
The app.exe is built OK, Eclipse project seems to see the dll at this point (for example, if I misspell the dll name, it complains and fails to build). However, when I try to debug the app, I get an ugly unhandled exception message right at startup.
When I manualy copy the needed x.dll to sit in the same directory as app.exe, then I can debug with no problems.

Eclipse will not run C programs

I just recently installed the CDT plugin for Eclipse in Windows 8 and I'm getting the error:
"Launch failed. Binary not found."
Now I've looked into this and I have installed cygwin with gcc and set that up in Eclipse settings. I went to Window>Preferences>New C/C++ Project Wizard>Makefile Project and checked Cygwin PE Parser (and just in case I checked PE Windows Parser as well).
Then I went to Window>Preferences>Build>Environment and added my PATH variable there. I made sure to add C:\cygwin64\bin to my PATH in my system settings, and I know this is valid because I checked that location and I have successfully run gcc through the command line as well as the cygwin terminal. On top of this, if I build my project in Eclipse and then navigate to that directory outside of Eclipse and run the .exe that it creates by double-clicking on it, it also runs properly.
I'm at a loss for why Eclipse can't run it but everything else can...Any suggestions?
right click your project in eclipse "project explore" -> Run as -> Run configuration
=>select your project name then check "Main" tab, in C/C++ application file. is it point to your binary file?
E.g:
Debug/TestProj.exe

C/C++ Run/Debug configuration in Eclipse

I am new to C/C++ development in Eclipse and trying to configure Eclipse. I'm working in a Linux environment with GNU GCC and my toolchain is detected by Eclipse. As given in the Eclipse documentation 1, I opened Run>>Run configurations. But the C/C++ Local tab is not there.
This is all I get.
But when I build a sample helloworld program, it's being built correctly.
Any idea why this happens?

I faced same issue as you. I was able to create and build one c/c++ project, but I couldn't run/debug it. Actually, I installed wrong CDT (CDT Visual C++ Support). Next I installed correct CDT (c/c++ development tools) and after one eclipse restart I had c/c++ application inside of Run Configuration.

Eclipse Juno, CDT, ARM, path issues on OS X

I'm using Eclipse Juno, trying to get the ARM toolchain working. What I have installed:
Eclipse Juno
Zylin Embedded CDT Plugin
GNU ARM Eclipse plugin
Summon-Arm-Toolchain, installed in the default ~/sat/ directory.
When I create a new C project using the Summon toolchain, the following error appears: 'Program "arm-none-eabi-gcc" not found in path.' The error location is "[Discovery Options] page in project properties." I've tried setting the Eclipse-level (Eclipse->Preferences->C/C++->Build->Environment) PATH and the project-level PATH to include this path, both relatively (~/sat) and absolutely /Users/alterscape/sat), but nothing seems to fix the problem. I've also tried manually adding the full path in the Discovery Options page. Is there a known fix? If not, is there a way to echo $PATH inside Eclipse to see what it thinks its path is?
So, here's the story: Eclipse CDT does NOT automatically re-check errors to see if they go away after you apply changes to your path. You have to manually re-build. This came as a surprise to me because I am used to my Java toolchain checking/updating errors as I make configuration changes. It isn't entirely obvious that you need to re-run Build Project to see if your changes fixed the error, but that's the path forward.

Eclipse mac osx: Launch failed, binary not found

Just installed eclipse on my mac cannot run my projects when i build and run i get the following message: launch failed, binary not found.
I've set on project setting \macosx gcc\ and linker\miscellaneus\flags -arch i686
doesnt work, i am pretty stuck.
Hi I ran into a similar problem. I am using the following build :
Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers
Version: Juno Service Release 2
The fix go into Project > Properties > C/C++ Build > Settings > Binary Parsers : Make sure "Mach-O 64 Parser is selected"
This thread helped me out: "Launch Failed. Binary Not Found." Snow Leopard and Eclipse C/C++ IDE issue
"THE PROBLEM: is that GCC 4.2 (the GNU Compiler Collection) that comes with Snow Leopard compiles binaries in 64-bit by default. Unfortunately, the linker that Eclipse uses does not understand 64-bit binaries; it reads 32-bit binaries. There may be other issues here, but in short, they culminate in no binary being generated, at least not one that Eclipse can read, which translates into Eclipse not finding the binaries. Hence the error."
The fix go into Project > Properties > C/C++ Build > Settings > Binary >Parsers : Make sure "Mach-O 64 Parser is selected"
I made sure this was correct, and still recieved an error, so I would say the best solution is to do this step...then, BUILD the project, then press the "play" button and it should work (that is what fixed my problem)
You must build it first, then click run. It will be fine then.
You need to select the proper binary parser so Eclipse can recognize the executable :
Select the project, then
Project->Properties->C/C++ Build->Settings->Binary Parsers
For the mac select Mach-O Parser.
I wish CDT just came with these selected, it’d be a simple plug-n-play setup. If nothing else they could add a hint in the error text.
I had the same issue,
although i changed the parser as above mentioned it didn't work and i got the same error.
In addition, building the project via the menu solved the problem:
Project>Build All
I guess the very first code execution with eclipse makes it necessary to build the code separately before pressing the green run button (as i supposed this at least compiles the code).
