c++ cygwin and eclipse - binary not found error


I've spent hours looking up how to fix this problem but nothing has worked. I have eclipse Indigo with CDT and ive downloaded cygwin and packages such as g++, make file, etc. When I try to execute any code I end up with the error Launch failed. Binary not found. I've also set the system path C:\cygwin\bin. How can I set up eclipse so I can use it as my IDE for c++?


Solution

  • Found the problem, I didn't press the hammer button to build the project first. I've only used eclipse for java and I could just hit run and everything would work fine.
