unable to build C++ project in Eclipse helios - c++

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.

Eclipse Console says cannot run cmake

I could not find the answer to my problem in the other similar questions.
After installing Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers on my mac, when I want to run a simple Hello program in C++, I get the following error in the console:
Error: build command 'cmake' not foundFailure running cmake:
Any ideas will be appreciated.
That answer does the job perfectly:
Under Eclipse Preferences -> C/C++ -> Build -> Environment click the select button then check the PATH row and click ok.
Double-click on the PATH row and modify the value by adding a :then the location of your make executable (for me /Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake so I added /Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin)
Tested on macOS Monterey 12.6 and Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers 2022-09 (4.25.0)
I followed the answer provided here and it worked.
Make sure to replace the PATH string by your echo $PATH output in the Info.plist, as mentioned here. Also, execute the command suggested here.
I am on macOS Catalina 10.15 and Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers Version: 2019-09 R (4.13.0).
Ps: I also tried to set the environment variables on Eclipse, as suggested here, but it did not work.

eclipse oxygen - Launch error: Binary not found

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.
You may find this useful: Setting up a compiler
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

C++ development in Eclipse, cannot find compiler

I downloaded c++ tools to Eclipse (kepler) from:
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/kepler
the usual way -> Help -> Install new software -> etc
I just realised it does not contains any compiler so i downloaded MinGW and installed it too.
My eclipse still remains unknow how to compile and run c++ projects.
Here is the pic please tell me how to configure compiler paths or something like that.
A good idea would be to find where g++ was installed then add its directory to your PATH.

How to install C++ plugin to Eclipse?

I have Eclipse Helios and wanted to code C++ using it, but I keep running into the "Launch failed. Binary Not found" error.
I installed the MingW C++ compiler using the "mingw-get-inst-20120426" file and selected the "C compiler, C++ compiler, MSYS Basic System, and MingW Developer Toolkit".
Then I went to Eclipse > project > properties > C/C++ General > Paths and Symbols, then selected the GNU C++ in the Includes tab and added the "C:\MinGW\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.6.2\include\c++" path.
I also went to C/C++ build > Environment and appended the "C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin" to the PATH.
Then I created a Hello World C++ project, selecting the MingW GCC under Toolchains, and then built the project using the "hammer" icon.
However, once I ran the HelloWorld program it gets the "Launch failed. Binary Not Found" error.
Here is another error:
g++ -IC:\MinGW\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.6.2\include\c++ -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -
fmessage-length=0 -osrc\HelloWorld.o ..\src\HelloWorld.cpp
Internal Builder: Cannot run program "g++": The system cannot find the
file specified.
I also downloaded the CDT (C/C++ Development Tooling) and transferred the "features" and "plugins" folder to the eclipse folder.
Can someone please give me step-by-step on how to resolve this?
Firstly, in the following examples all drive-letters should be replaced with the relevant ones on your system. Not all of these steps are really necessary, but it works (and the more the merrier).
We start with the slightly simpler release config - we want to make it compile.
Go to Project -- Properties
Look if the include directories are correct and in place.
Go to Project -- Properties -- Run/Debug Settings -- NEW -- Main Tab
Set to Release and Browse to the Release folder of the project. If the exe file is not set type in its name.
Switch to Common Tab. Check Allocate Console and Launch in Background. Don't Run yet.
Go to Project -- Properties -- C/C++ Build -- Discovery Options
Tools -- GCC C++ Compiler
"Browse" to the mingw bin folder and select the g++.exe or copy mingw32-g++.exe to g++.exe
Note: The image points to mingw32-g++.exe please use g++.exe
Right click on the project and look -- Build Configurations -- Set Active -- Release is checked.
Right click on the project -- Run As -- Run Configurations.
Under C/C++ Application select, the one which refers to the release version. Then click Run
If this works, I will show you how to set the Debug Properties. (more complicated)
Nowadays (Eclipse Juno and newer), it is much simpler. You just need to:
Install MinGW (and including C++ compiler)
Add the paths "C:\minGW\bin" and "C:\minGW\msys\1.0\bin" (or wherever you installed MinGW to) to your Windows "Path" variable
Install Eclipse. If Eclise already is installed, restart it. it will recognize that MinGW is now available.
Create a New project: "C++ Project"
For every Project type in the following dialog, you should now be able to select the "MinGW GCC" toolchain
Happy coding

g++ is installed as part of MinGW. If you are getting an error in Eclipse that it cannot find g++ then your path is most likely incorrect. From a command prompt you should be able to run:
g++ --version
and it should display the version of g++ in the MinGW/bin directory.
Eclipse uses this path to locate the include files and the compiler. Once you get the path correct restart Eclipse and the problems listed in your question should be resolved.
