I started a new C++/Qt-Desktop project in QCreator and two build configurations were automatically created:
a Release-Configuration where the build was created in a separate directory than the source-code
a Debug-Configuration, where additional compiler flags were set and you could nicely debug with Valgrind
Somehow I got these build-configurations deleted (either by moving to a new computer, or opening the project on another computer - I don't know).
How to I recreate these two (apprently default) configurations for my specific project?
close your project
remove the .pro.user file
reopen the closed project
Open your project.
Go to the Projects pane.
Select the Build & Run tab.
Select the Build subtab.
In the "Edit build configuration:" line, click Add dropdown, select Build submenu.
Select the Debug or Release configuration in Build Steps->Details.

I had to do my homework with c programming in codelite. Just like codeBlock and Dev-C++ which give user to run multiple console program in the same folder, however, when I run it on codelite it fail.
I have create different workspace folder or even different project.But when I try to build it, only the first c file get to build but not later created c file.
May anyone please help me on this issues?I just want to rum multiple program in codelite just like code block.
Hitting F7, builds the active project (the project with a bold text in the workspace tree view).
To change the active project:
Double click a project, or:
Right click a project and select Make active
To build all the projects in a single click (Default key: F7):
Add new project to the workspace
Right click it and select Build Order
In the dialog that pops up, click on the checkbox near each project
Build the dummy project (make it active as described above) and hit F7
OR, build the entire workspace (Ctrl-Shift-B):
From the menu bar select Build -> Build Workspace (default key bindings: Ctrl-Shift-B)
To execute a project (default key binding: Ctrl-F5):
Make the project active by double clicking it
Hit Ctrl-F5
NOTE:
All keybindings can be changed from Settings -> Keyboard shortcuts

I'm trying to conveniently have the updated code in effect when I click the run button in Eclipse. At present it will run the last build and I have to manually click build before clicking run to see the changes.
Can someone advise me on how to configure Eclipse to autobuild the current project (if changes has been made) before running the code?
There are multiple settings for auto building. The one you could be missing is the setting under Launching.
Two other settings are here:
And the last setting is the one you likely already know about:
If you want to automatically build your project on save (or before run, if needed), then from tool-bar menu go to
Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Select Behaviour Tab on the right panel, -> tick the "Build on resource save(Auto build)" , finally hit OK
That is it...
I try to program some stuff in c++ with eclipse, but I have slight difficulties.
When I create a new Project compiling and making works fine but when I try to run the Application I get the following error message:
"Launch failed. Binary not found"
So what I found out by using google is this workaround:
-right-click on the projekt in the projekt explorer
-select "run as" and then "run configurations"
-expand "c/c++ application" in the navbar on the left
-and in the main tab of the project select "browse"
-navigate to folder "debug" and select the .exe
after I do that, running works fine but I have to do it again every time I create a new Project, is there a way to automate this process?
And what I also noticed: I don't have a "binaries" folder in my projects in the project explorer, maybe its related to that, but I really don't know.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Tim

There will only be a Binaries folder if the build was successful. You will have to manually build to get a binary in order for the Binaries folder to appear. Likewise, if you clean (remove) your build folder then Binaries will disappear.
I would guess that Eclipse cannot find your binary "out-of-the-box" because you are using external tools to manage the build process; that is, if you have a custom makefile project (or another type of project that uses another tool to handle the building) then Eclipse will not be able to provide a default run configuration because it does not "know" where the binary is or even which binary to run if there are multiple. Thus, you have to set up the Run Configuration as you are doing now.
If you create a project and let Eclipse do the building, then Eclipse can find the binaries automatically. For example, simply create an "Empty C++ Project" under "Executable". Write some hello world code. Click build. Then click run. Eclipse launches the binary because it is managing the build process and thus "knows about" where the binary ends up.
Open project properties (Right click on your project, choose Properties on the menu)
C/C++ Build -> Settings
Click on Binary Parsers tab and check PE Windows Parser
as seen here stackoverflow.com/questions/9407430, answer number 3 or 4
In my case
I just save the programme. Press CTRL+B to build it.
Refresh it.
Then run the programme.
Now you can see this will work fine.
I have already answered this for other question see the link Launch Failed Binary not found Eclipse for C in Windows at 10th number.

I am facing some problems regarding eclipse for c/c++. I am trying to create a new project, I provide the code, and after running the code I get this error:
The program file specified in the launch configuration does not exist
C:\Users\elisabeth\workspace\mm\Debug\mm.exe not found
Please notice that I am working with spice toolkit; I set the path for the "include" files and the libraries, but still I can not have a result.
What causes this error and how can I resolve it?
Right click on your project --> Properties
Run/Debug settings
Delete whatever is set as "launch configuration for '........'
Project --> Clean
Project --> Build Project
You can create a run configuration. Go to Run > Run Configurations. Click New button, fill C/C++ Application field, i.e., insert path to your executable. The new configuration will appear in the list which appears when you click to the arrow next to run button.
Of course this assumes your can build without problems, otherwise you won't see an executable to point to.
You can clean the project, build it again and run it as a local C/C++ application. Simplified steps as follows,
Right click on the project
Clean Project
Again Right click on the project
Build Project
Again Right click on the project
Run As ->
Local C/C++ Application
As the error reads:
C:\Users\elisabeth\workspace\mm\Debug\mm.exe not found
First of all you need to check whether there is an executable "mm.exe" in your Debug folder. (Of course, it is not there and that is why the error)
Go to Project > Clean
and you should see some files being deleted from your Debug folder
Go to Project > Build Project
and you should see some new files being generated e.g. mm.d, mm.o, mm. This "mm" is probably the executable you're looking for
Now that you know what your executable is, you should tell eclipse what file to execute instead of mm.exe. Go to Project properties and in run debug settings create a new configuration (or edit an existing configuration, if there is one already). In this configuration, in main tab, in C/C++ Application specify a full path to "mm". Which, in your case is - "C:\Users\elisabeth\workspace\mm\Debug\mm"
A better way to do this in eclipse is:
${project_loc}/"your folder"/"your executable file"
e.g.${project_loc}/Debug/mm
what worked for me is file->refresh
then do the Debug configuration again by choosing the right c/c++ binary again.
Avoid troubles with configuration by going into Project properties > C/C++ build > Refresh Policy and specify your project folder. The configuration option "Search project" will show a correct folder then and you will see whatever you build there - Debug, Release or both. You don't want to specify the folder using Browse option every time you import project or switch configurations.
As this is the first SO discussion that appears for this topic on Google and none of the answers solved the problem my students were having, I would like to mention the solution we eventually found from this answer:
Open project properties (Right click on your project, choose Properties on the menu)
C/C++ Build -> Settings
Click on Binary Parsers tab and check PE Windows Parser
Keep clicking Move Up until it is at the top
This had been set to Elf, even though we were using a freshly downloaded Windows version of Eclipse.
sometime missed closing curly brace can be part of a problem. Make sure prototype your function at the beginning of the file. Then right click your project in the left side bar. click clean project. then click build project and finally run project
I encountered similar issues and their related problems a few days ago. Finally, I found out that, just because I had moved my project folder (workspace folder of Eclipse) to another place so Eclipse could not find what its need as usual.
Solution: I just set the workspace to my new place (Hey Eclipse, my workspace now is here) :
Menu "File" -> "Switch workspace" -> "Other..." -> click "Browse..." button and point to new place then click "Select Folder" button and click "Launch" button.
Nice day.
