Can not run executable from within Eclipse [message #158715]

Tue, 22 November 2005 07:32

Eclipse User

- I created a standard c/c++ project and a makefile.
- I build & link my project.
- I select Debug... or Run... and create a new "C/C++ Local Application"
Configuration.
- In the tab Main I select my project, but I can not select my executable.
I does not show up hen I press "Search project", and when I select it with
"Browse", it gives the error message "Program is not a recognized
executable".

I am able to run it just fine from the command prompt...

Should I define an environment variable (which?where?) to tell Eclipse
where the binaries go to? I tried (a.o. ...) adding it to "project
properties"->"C/C++ project Paths"->Output, but that gave no result.

Greetings,
Kurt Dirix

Eclipse uses `Binary Parsers` to detect binary files.
Please choose the correct parser at Project->Properties->C/C++ Make
Project->Binary Parser

Oopsie. Thank you! It works now.

Do you know where I can find some general information on binary parsers?
It is totally Greek (well, almost) for me, and I think I can do with some
background info...
