Thanks in advance for the help.
This is on Windows/MSYS2 (mingw64) Eclipse CDT Version: 2019-09 R (4.13.0) Build id: 20190917-1200.
I have figured out how to run cmake in order to create an Eclipse compatible project file. I then got the project into Eclipse via I got this File->Open Project from File System. I can then make/build that file and create my executables. I do get a couple warnings regarding improper project path but the code all compiles without error.
However, I need to "connect" the cmake build directory (i.e. the project in Kicad) to my source code in order to edit and/or debug the changes I wish to make. Based on my research I believe I have to do this via the Project Properties C/C++ Build menu, however, this menu is not present. I believe I access this menu by selecting the project on the left and right clicking or alt-enter or from the top menu Project->Properties.
For some reason I can't do a screen grab on Eclipse but I pulled the image attached from the online help file: (https://help.eclipse.org/2019-06/index.jsp)
.
My "Project->Properties" menu looks similar in that it shows Resource, Builders, plus more things but there is no C/C++ Build entry: it just goes from Builders to C/C++ General.
I found this "solution" https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=508319 which seemed appropriate as I had installed the standalone debugger, however, uninstalling it had no effect.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I'm having issues with setting up Eclipse for C++ editing. I am using Cygwin and Eclipse (obviously), and I've gotten to the point of making the example project Hello World. However, when I try to create a new project I always get the message "Launch Failed. Binary Not Found". I know this is a common issue, but why would the default hello world project work and not mine?
Thanks for any help.
First Build the project ( project menu in navigation bar)
then, A new folder named Binaries will appear now in project explorer. (refresh if needed)
Now you can try running your project, and no errors will appear.

Hi This is my first time working with C++ on eclipse. I'm using cygwin.
I'm just trying to create a simple hello world program. The build is successful but when I try to run, it says "launch failed. binary not found".
In settings which I check the run configuration, there's nothing listed on clicking "search project..". Am I doing something wrong?
Would really appreciate any help on this. Thanks!
You probably found your solution, but here's for anyone else who might have the same problem:
If you want to use cygwin toolchain then you'll have to build a makefile first, and then build your project. You can follow the official guide here: http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp (C/C++ Development User Guide >> Getting Started >> Creating a Makefile project)
If you don't mind changing the cygwin toolchain: The fastest way to build and run a C/C++ project would be to create another project, this time un-ticking the show project types and choose as MINGW GCC toolchain (check 1st image below). After you create your project, you just right click on project and choose the rebuild option (check 2nd image below).
I tried to create a C++ project in Eclipse Helios, it works fine for some simple "Hello World" projects (a single file etc..). However, now I have a little bigger project with several files, the project can still be built without any problems. Actually, when I get into the release folder, the makefile, object files, the actual binary executable are all there. And I could run the binary through the termainl. If I click the "Run/Debug" in Eclipse for this project, it always says "Launch Failed. Binary not found".
How could run the program in Eclipse? I would like to explore its debug features. In addition, I'm running eclipse in CentOS linux and I believe the basic g++, gdb setting etc.. should be all right, otherwise the daemon hello world won't work.
Warning: I have a very old version of eclipse and the CDT so the current procedure could have changed considerably.
In the C/C++ Project view, expand your project then expand the Binaries node. In there you should have a list of the built executables. Right-click on it and select the item Run As.. > Local C/C++ Application. This should automatically create a new run configuration which you can access from the green arrow icon and the little bug icon in your tool bar. Click on these to run normally or to run in debug mode.
If you want to tweak how programs are launched, goto to the Run configuration menu item of the green arrow icon. Select the configuration that you previously created or make a new one. You can then tweak the various launch settings like the executable to run, the arguments you want to pass, the required environment variables, etc.
Note that there's also a separate Debug configuration that can be accessed from the little bug icon in your toolbar. Within that dialog there's a Debugger tab which contains all the controls necessary to set up your debugger. Just randomly screw around with the controls until you find something that works for you.
I just had the same error, and here is what I did - 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
(or you can select Cygwin parser if you use Cygwin compiler, on Linux I use Elf parser).
That worked for me at least for Cross compiler (both on Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04)
I'm using Eclipse Helios on Ubuntu 10.04, and I'm trying to install CDT plugin on it. I download it from here here.
And then I go to Install New Software and select the zip file (I don't extract it, just select the zip file). And its ok, it installs, everything works fine, it shows optional features, blah blah blah.
And then I create a new HelloWorld project. And when I try to run it, it shows an error and says:
Launch failed. Binary not found.
Can anyone explain me how to fix it?
Thanks.
You must build an executable file before you can run it. So if you don't “BUILD” your file, then it will not be able to link and load that object file, and hence it does not have the required binary numbers to execute.
So basically right click on the Project -> Build Project -> Run As Local C/C++ Application should do the trick
First you need to make sure that the project has been built. You can build a project with the hammer icon in the toolbar. You can choose to build either a Debug or Release version. If you cannot build the project then the problem is that you either don't have a compiler installed or that the IDE does not find the compiler.
To see if you have a compiler installed in a Mac you can run the following command from the command line:
g++ --version
If you have it already installed (it gets installed when you install the XCode tools) you can see its location running:
which g++
If you were able to build the project but you still get the "binary not found" message then the issue might be that a default launch configuration is not being created for the project. In that case do this:
Right click project > Run As > Run Configurations... >
Then create a new configuration under the "C/C++ Application" section > Enter the full path to the executable file (the file that was created in the build step and that will exist in either the Debug or Release folder). Your launch configuration should look like this:
Go to the Run->Run Configuration-> now
Under C/C++ Application you will see the name of your executable + Debug (if not, click over C/C++ Application a couple of times). Select the name (in this case projectTitle+Debug).
Under this in main Tab -> C/C++ application -> Search your project -> in binaries select your binary titled by your project....
You must "build" before "run", otherwise "Binary not found". You can set up "Auto build", so that it will build and run. Check this post to set up "Auto build" http://situee.blogspot.com/2012/08/how-to-set-eclipse-cdt-auto-build.html
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.
If you still have an error even after building the project then try to do this:
click on Binaries in Project Explorer with the left button
click on green "Play" button (Run Debug)
I was having this same problem and found the solution in the anwser to another question:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/1951132/425749
Basically, installing CDT does not install a compiler, and Eclipse's error messages are not explicit about this.
I faced the same problem. I have Eclipse Indigo and Eclipse Luna on Ubuntu. I tried many solutions, but none worked. Here's how you can try :)
Try it in order :)
Either do Build All and then compile :)
Install G++ Compiler
Windows->Preferences->NEW CDT PRoject-> Makefile-> Binary Parsers-> Choose Cywin or Window PE depending on your Os :)
Change your toolchain to cywin gcc
Project->Properties->Environment-> Release Active
After 1,2, 3, and 4, I tried changing paths, and other stuff, but nothing worked. In the end, I noticed that it mentioned Debug Active was not configured. So when I changed it to Release Active, it worked. Do note that change in environment and path is not required.
I faced the same problem while installing Eclipse for c/c++ applications .I downloaded Mingw GCC ,put its bin folder in your path ,used it in toolchains while making new C++ project in Eclipse and build which solved my problem.

Seems like having "Build Automatically" under the Project menu ought to take care of all of this. It does for Java.
make sure you have GDB installed on your system...
If your using Linux based OS simply in a terminal type:
sudo apt-get install gdt
when finished downloading extract the file and install.
close your IDE (in this case eclipse and open it again and run your project.
Adding the compiler to the PATH fixed the problem for me...
export PATH="$HOME/opt/cross/bin:$PATH"
My problem was the same as one commenter above. I had to change the binary parser to the correct one (PE for windows, ELF for Linux, mach for mac)
I have downloaded the latest Eclipse CDT release (Helios) and wanted to try my luck with some C++ programming (haven't done that in ages).
I tried to do the "Hello World" project, but I got stuck quite fast.
First thing - the #include <stdio.h> and #include <stdlib.h> got marked with an 'Unresolved Symbol' warning. So I found the place where I can add include paths and pointed it to these headers from the Visual Studio installation I have.
After that, it looked fine but:
I don't see compilation errors/warnings in the Problems tab.
I cannot run the code - I get 'Launch failed. Binary not found' error
My question is simple - what are the steps I really need to do to get my code compiled, linked and executed?
I tried looking for it on Eclipse's site, but didn't find any reference to that.
I'm making a guess here, that your are running on Windows, because that particular error seems to be a windows related one.
You seem to be missing the basic toolchain needed by the CDT to actually build the project. You need some files Before You Get Started. I suggest the mingw installer, as it is simple, and lets you actually build Windows compatible binaries.
Check out the link above, and then make sure your project links to the toolchain. Hope that helps.
A starting point could be:
File -> New -> c++ project
Type a name for the project, select Hello World c++ Project under Project Type and click Finish.
Right click on the project -> Run As -> Local C++ application (or just click the Run button on the toolbar).
I was getting the same error until I ran the "Build All" command. That command created two new folders, Debug and Release. Then when I clicked the "Debug" button, it asked me which one I wanted to run and I selected "Debug" and it ran perfectly.
It seems like the binary it couldn't find was created from the "Build All" command.
