eclipse oxygen - Launch error: Binary not found - c++

Whenever I create a new project it doesn't include the binaries thing and I get this error: "Launch Failed: Binary not found"
I have already tried changing run configurations to no avail. I have the debug folder but in it is a mysterious stringTest.o file which cannot run the project.
I have built the project several times.
I am using the latest version of Eclipse Oxygen and the MinGW compiler (GNU for Windows).
I have searched for half an hour around and all the methods I've tried haven't worked. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!

To Compile and Build the project in Eclipse do
Project -> Build Project
Then to run the project right click on your source code file and select
Run As -> Local C/C++ Application

CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified) [duplicate]

I am using Eclipse for Windows and have this error:
Build of configuration Debug for project helloworld
(Cannot run program "make": Launching failed)
What do I do to solve this?
Eclipse CDT on Windows depends on 3rd party tools.

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. Referred to this video

Cannot run program "sh" eclipse C++ project in windows 7

I'm on Eclipse Luna for C/C++ developers. Compiling a Hello World project works just fine. But now I'm working with a project I downloaded via SVN and can't get it to build correctly.
The problem shows "CreateProcess error = 2 the system cannot find the specified file" Type: Configure Problem.
From what I've looked up this is caused by having configured an Autotools project, but in C/C++ build -> Tool Chain Editor -> Current Toolchain I have set up MinGW GCC instead of GNU Autotools toolchain. Any ideas on what could be causing this problem or how to fix it?

Cannot run C/C++ project on eclipse+cygwin+cdt

As we all know, Eclipse can not only run Java project, It also can run C/C++, Python, PHP etc, but we need to install plugins and configure run environment. I want to run C++ Project on Eclipse+cygwin+cdt (Windows 7), I have added following these environment variables.
"C:\cygwin64\usr\include"
"C:\cygwin64\lib"
"C:\cygwin64\bin"
and configure Eclipse toolchain = CygwinGcc and binary parsers = PE Windows Parser, I also set sth about "Paths and Symbols", but I still cannot run C/C++, following is the error info:
"Lauching CTest Debug" has encounted a problem. The program file specied in the launch configuration does not exist."
there is no binaries files, is there something wrong with it? I'm confused.
An executable probably doesn't exist in your debug folder.
There is a thread on how to get c++ running on Eclipse here:
The program file specified in the launch configuration does not exist
Hope that solves your problem
Did you install gcc toolchain successfully in Cygwin? Try to include gcc, gdb and make when you install cygwin.

unable to build C++ project in Eclipse helios

I can't build a C++ project in eclipse helios. It's showing an error (Cannot run program "make": Launching failed)
I saw a suggestion that stated add PATH to (Preferences -> C/C++ -> Build -> Environment).
But the variable name is PATH, what do I give in the value?
Please help
Did you install MinGW? You'll need to put the MinGW bin directory in your path.
Or you can use Cygwin.
