Comments on: Eclipse “Launch Failed. Binary Not Found.” and Netbeans

Hi I’m running on Windows XP, downloaded 3 versions of Eclipse Helios: Java, C/C++, & Wascana. I am able to run/use the Java version but neither of the other 2 which I need to use C. I’ve tried building & running the Hello World Tutorial but I keep getting the same error message: “Launch Failed. Binary not found.” I’m new to this so I don’t understand what this means. I followed Eclipse’s Help Tutorial C/C++ Development User Guide… downloaded/ installed Wascana (which is supposed to have the GNU toolchain… which is apparently necessary to run programs in eclipse?) So, now do I need to configure something?
Thanks in advance!

I’ve tried adding the -iarch 386 and -m32 flags in both places under the Mac OS C++ Linker and GCC C++ linker, and I still get the same damn “Launch failed. Binary not found” message. What magical step am I missing?

I’ve installed the Eclipse CDT, and this whole thing is fucking frustrating as a beginner, to say the least. Do I have to have XCode installed or something? Should I just use that instead? Why is it so damn difficult to get an IDE to compile some damn code?

However refer this link from eclipse error message:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-eclipse-stlcdt/

That should be helpful to the developers to configure instead of spending time on searching in Google….

Eclipse needs to be configured with the parsers initially…
I don’t know why its is not simple…and no proper error messages or documentation…
I’m weared…
Will eclipse developers look into it..?

Click on file > New > C++ project

Choose Empty Project.

Open you’re project map add new Source File

call it whatever but – end it with “.cpp”

then write you’re c++ script inside it Save it befor

anything else it wouldent work – after saving it then

build it – and run. And you’re done.
