My experience is that after building your project  CTRL B   you need to create a run  or debug  configuration in the Run or Debug dropdown menu from the main toolbar  Then in the main page  click the   Search Project     button    This will find all executable files you have built and show them in a dialog box  You can choose the right one and then hit the Run  or

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

For what it s worth  I had this problem - and the cause was invalid DWARF 3 info in the binary in the selected project  which didn t have any runnable binaries    The way it work was something like this  I had two projects Main and Library  Main depended on the Library project and the former had an executable  while the latter just produced a static library  that Main linked against    My run option was set to  Run Debug -  Launch  setting was set to  launch current  otherwise last  as follows  see bottom right      If I had the Main project selected  everything would work fine  it would launch the main project  If I had the Library project selected1 it would fail with the error message given by the OP  The reason seemed to be this  since I had the Library project selected  the PE scanner would scan the binary files in the project to see if any were launchable  and because scanning was failing due to this bug the error message popped up before it ever got to  Launch the previously launched application    I could work around it by    Making sure the project I wanted to launch was selected  or     Changing compilers to one that made DWARF info that Eclipse could parse without failure  or     Selecting  Always launch the previously launched application  in the Run Debug settings - although it might not be your preferred mode of operation      1 I wouldn t usually select the project directly  of course  it would be indirectly selected because I was working in one of the source files it contained

I think I found solution - proper binary parser must be selected so Eclipse can recognize the executable   Select the project  then right-click  Project- Properties- C C   Build- Settings- Binary Parsers  PE Windows Parser   I e  if Cygwin compiler is used then Cygwin parser should be used   That worked for me at least for Cross-compiler  both on Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12 04   On Linux  I use Elf parser   If anyone has the better solution  please advise

This happened to me and I found a solution  see if this works for you   Once you have built your project with the hammer icon    select  Run   Run Configurations  Choose  C   Application   Click on the  New Launch Configuration  icon on the top left of the open window  Select  Browse  under the C C   Application  Browse to the folder where you made your project initially  Enter the Debug folder  Click on the binary file with the same name as the project   Select  OK    Click  Apply  to confirm the link you just set   Close that window    Afterwards you should be able to run the project as much as you d like   Hopefully this works for you

You need to click on the MinGW compiler when running the code  Failure to do this will cause the launch failed binary not found error

This worked for me   Go to Project --  Properties --  Run Debug Settings --  Click on the configuration  amp  click  Edit   it will now open a  Edit Configuration    Hit on  Search Project    select the binary file from the  Binaries  and hit ok    Note   Before doing all this  make sure you have done the below  --  Binary is generated once you execute  Build All  or  Ctrl B
