Answer 1

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.
