Eclipse CDT project built but “Launch Failed. Binary Not Found”

Question

Windows 7, Eclipse CDT, Juno Service Release 2, Cross compiler.

Projects do compile executables generated, but Eclipse can\'t see them; therefore \'Run\' fails. Exec

Answer 1

I think I found solution - proper binary parser must be selected so Eclipse can recognize the executable:

Select the project, then right-click. Project->Properties->C/C++ Build->Settings->Binary Parsers, PE Windows Parser.

I.e. if Cygwin compiler is used then Cygwin parser should be used.

That worked for me at least for Cross-compiler (both on Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04). On Linux, I use Elf parser.

If anyone has the better solution, please advise.

Answer 2

Make sure that the folder name does not contain .c extension. When I removed the .c extension in my folder name it worked automatically.

Answer 3

This worked for me.

Go to Project --> Properties --> Run/Debug Settings --> Click on the configuration & click "Edit", it will now open a "Edit Configuration".

Hit on "Search Project" , select the binary file from the "Binaries" and hit ok.

Note : Before doing all this, make sure you have done the below

--> Binary is generated once you execute "Build All" or (Ctrl+B)

Simply select the project and press CTRL + B.

Answer 6

You need to click on the MinGW compiler when running the code. Failure to do this will cause the launch failed binary not found error.
