I faced the same problem while installing Eclipse for c c   applications  I downloaded Mingw GCC  put its bin folder in your path  used it in toolchains while making new C   project in Eclipse and build which solved my problem  Referred to this video

You must  build  before  run   otherwise  Binary not found   You can set up  Auto build   so that it will build and run  Check this post to set up  Auto build  http   situee blogspot com 2012 08 how-to-set-eclipse-cdt-auto-build html

You must build an executable file before you can run it  So if you don t    BUILD    your file  then it will not be able to link and load that object file  and hence it does not have the required binary numbers to execute   So basically right click on the Project - gt  Build Project - gt  Run As Local C C   Application should do the trick

First you need to make sure that the project has been built  You can build a project with the hammer icon in the toolbar  You can choose to build either a Debug or Release version  If you cannot build the project then the problem is that you either don t have a compiler installed or that the IDE does not find the compiler   To see if you have a compiler installed in a Mac you can run the following command from the command line   g   --version   If you have it already installed  it gets installed when you install the XCode tools  you can see its location running   which g     If you were able to build the project but you still get the  binary not found  message then the issue might be that a default launch configuration is not being created for the project  In that case do this   Right click project  gt  Run As  gt  Run Configurations     gt     Then create a new configuration under the  C C   Application  section   Enter the full path to the executable file  the file that was created in the build step and that will exist in either the Debug or Release folder   Your launch configuration should look like this

I was having this same problem and found the solution in the anwser to another question  https   stackoverflow com a 1951132 425749  Basically  installing CDT does not install a compiler  and Eclipse s error messages are not explicit about this

I had this problem for a long while and I couldn t figure out the answer  I had added all the paths  built everything and pretty much followed what everyone on here had suggested  but no luck    Finally I read the comments and saw that there were some compilation errors that were aborting the procedure before the binaries and exe file was generated    Bottom line  Do a code review and make sure that there are no errors in your code because sometimes eclipse will not always catch everything   If you can run a basic hello world but not your code then obviously something is wrong with your code  I learned the hard way

make sure you have GDB installed on your system      If your using Linux based OS simply in  a terminal type   sudo apt-get install gdt    when finished downloading extract the file and install   close your IDE  in this case eclipse and open it again and run your project

Seems like having  Build Automatically  under the Project menu ought to take care of all of this  It does for Java

Go to the Run- Run Configuration-  now  Under C C   Application you will see the name of your executable   Debug  if not  click over C C   Application a couple of times   Select the name  in this case  projectTitle Debug    Under this in main Tab -   C C   application -  Search your project -  in binaries select your binary titled by your project

I faced the same problem  I have Eclipse Indigo and Eclipse Luna on Ubuntu  I tried many solutions  but none worked  Here s how you can try    Try it in order      Either do Build All and then compile    Install G   Compiler Windows- Preferences- NEW CDT PRoject-  Makefile-  Binary Parsers-  Choose Cywin or Window PE depending on your Os    Change your toolchain to cywin gcc Project- Properties- Environment-  Release Active   After 1 2  3  and 4  I tried changing paths  and other stuff  but nothing worked  In the end  I noticed that it mentioned Debug Active was not configured  So when I changed it to Release Active  it worked  Do note that change in environment and path is not required

Adding the compiler to the PATH fixed the problem for me     export PATH   HOME opt cross bin  PATH
