C++ Run Command Error ./ is a directory - c++

I am using the Coderunner app for Mac OS X to mess around with some c++ code. However, whenever I run any c++ program (including when the program is blank) I get this same error -
Run Command: line 1: ./: is a directory I cannot figure out why this is happening, even after I searched for hours. I have installed the newest Xcode (5.0.2) and the command line tools.

Go to "preferences" in CodeRunner and select the option "languages" then at the bottom of the list there is a button that says "Reset", click that and you should get the original way that the languages scripts came with. I was getting the same error message I did that and it work.
Good luck.

How do I open WebStorm from terminal?

I've looked around but I've only found answers for past versions. I have a new version of WebStorm and I want to open my projects from the command line, but wstorm . and webstorm . doesn't seem to work.
I've tried going to Tools > Create Command Line Launcher... and I get this:
I go to ToolBox's WebStorm Settings and I'm met with this:
Generate shell scripts is turned on, but the but the commands still do not work in my terminal.
Am I missing something? Am I supposed to add in a Shell scripts location? I'm not entirely sure I understand.
It's actually very easy. First you open up Webstorm, and press SHIFT twice. This will bring up a search box, where you type: Create Command Line Launcher. You will see a search result from Tools will be highlighted, click on it, and it will suggest the default path. Just click on Ok. Your command line launcher is now ready, so you can open terminal, cd to your project root folder, and type webstorm ./ to launch webstorm.
If the Create Command Line Launcher option is not working, try the following:
If you are on MacOS, try adding the path as instructed in their official page. And if you are on Linux, just uninstall the current version and reinstall as a snap package using sudo snap install webstorm --classic. This way, you can launch it from the terminal just by typing webstorm
After opening a ticket with Jetbrains support, the default path is /usr/local/bin. Adding this worked.
You can use open-ide tool. It allows you to define all of your editors and to open any folder with your editor straight from terminal

Running C++ app from the Windows command line

I have installed cygwin in order to compile C++ source code. At this stage I can run the C++ app by invoking it directly via icon. But once I type g++ on the cmd command line I receive 'Access denied' message. That command works fine on cygwin terminal window. How to deal with this issue? This questions has been trig-erred by the another issue which is present on this forum.
It is that I cannot see the output on Eclipse IDE once I run the C++ app (no errors). I though t the thing that I receive that 'Access denied' message on cmd might be the culprit for the mentioned trouble. Just trying out all the things.
Best regards
Did you add cygwin to your path in windows?
I'm not familiar to cygwin, but theres a code you can try. It is similar to "sudo" on linux, and it gives you more privileges...
It's called "runas". Take a look on this site: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/runas.mspx?mfr=true

Eclipse Helios-"cannot run program 'make' : unknow reason" on Mac OS X

I am a college undergraduate trying to learn C++ programming on my Macbook. It is installed with Mac OSX 10.7.3.
I have been trying to build the "hello world" project on Eclipse Helios, but after I clicked on the build project button, it keeps telling me "cannot run program 'make : unknow reason".
I noticed this post but it seems to be for the Windows OS instead of MAC OS, and I don't quite follow the instructions in it either (sorry I don't have any familiarity with programming...). The description for PATH variable is "not available" and I don't know if this is a problem. I'm also confused about what to put in the "Name" slot.
Edit:
Now after some trials I have "make" in my PATH. (i.e. the command line gives the information of the make after I input "make --version") and my PATH is set to
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/texbin
However the same problem still persists. Can anybody please help? Thank you!!
My suggestion is to install Xcode (http://itunes.apple.com/se/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12) from the App Stor (for Mac). Xcode is (free) developer tools supplied by Apple. After installing Xcode you can go to the menu 'Xcode' -> 'Open Developer Tools' -> 'More Developer tools' that will take you to apple developer site (where you probably have to register) and where you can download 'Command Line Tools for Xcode' that will contain make etc. for unix style development.
Xcode is quit nice and if there is no demand to use Eclipse when you could probably do well with Xcode.
EDIT: Undeleted this answer as it turned out to be correct.
Yes, I'd say that $PATH was the problem.
Your system default version of $PATH should be sufficient and if not then set it correctly in your .profile or .bash_profile. You'll need to logout and back in for these changes to take effect. Doing this will mean that you can compile from the command line without going into eclipse, which is something you'll want to do at some point.
Now simply configure eclipse to avoid setting any build variables and all should be well. Under Window > Preferences > C/C++ > Build > Build Variables, the list should be empty:

Can't run programs on my mac

I've been programming on windows for about three months now and when my computer finally died I bought a mac. I'm really happy with it except I can't figure out how to run my c++ programs.
On windows it would open up in command prompt so I figured it would do the same thing except with terminal.
After I write my programs (in Xcode) I can compile them and it'll tell me if there are syntax errors but the run and run related buttons are all Grey and unusable.
It's incredibly annoying that I can't see how the program that I put 4 hours into runs and even more annoying that I don't know if I've made a runtime error. Someone please help.
Thank you very much, James
Assuming that you're trying to write a program that you interact with on the command line, you want to create a "Command Line Tool" project, found under "Application" in the Mac OS X section of the New Project dialog. Choose "C++ stdc++" from the "Type" dropdown, as well. This will give you a main.cpp that should look familiar to you, with a "Hello, World!" sample.
Note that when you Run this program, it might appear to do nothing - You need to open the Console (from the Run menu, or shift+command+R) to see your output.
Xcode deals in projects. If you're just opening the source file, there is no project. Create a project with the files in it and Xcode should let you run it.
Alternately, you can just use G++ on the command line to compile your files and run the resulting executable there.
Try compiling from the terminal as stated above. The a.out file should be created, and should run as long as Xcode has been installed. It should work fine from the terminal, and point out any errors in the compiler's output.
To runs the a.out file, ensure you are in the files directory in terminal and type ./a.out

Error in basic C++ program running in Netbeans IDE with Cygwin

I recently started learning C++ and I installed Netbeans IDE 6.9.1 and also the Cygwin compiler packages and configured them, and added Cygwin to my environment variable PATH like the instructions told me to.
I wrote a basic "Hello World" program and when I press Ctrl+F5 to "Debug Main Project" it seems to build fine but the black console/command prompt window flashes then disappears.
Then when I go to Run > Run Main Project, it builds and then a command prompt window pops up with the directory to "sh.exe" in its title.
I took a screenshot of the error message:
Does anyone know why this is happening and why I can't get the program to run properly even in debug?
Notice that in the screenshot I switched over to the MinGW tools because I thought maybe Cygwin was the problem, but the same error still occurs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
"No such file or directory" in the error message is the key. When you run the project, it wants to access a file which is not there. Make sure that the paths are set up correctly.
