No "run" or "debug" options in Eclipse Helios

I am just switching from Visual Studio 2008 to Eclipse Helios for Mac OS X Leopard for C++ dev. I am importing a previous project with Makefile and although it compiles automatically without problems, there are no "run" or "debug" options anywhere, why?

Solution

  • It depends where you are looking for those menus, as illustrated in the bug 74116:

    This has been changed to the following behavior in the "C/C++ Projects" view:

    • Right-click on a project or binary, gives Run/Debug with "Run Local C/C++ Application" as the first choice.
    • Right-click on a source file or folder gives no Run/Debug menu items
    • Right-click on another file gives the same Run/Debug menu items as in the Navigator view.
