Eclipse – CMake and Eclipse CDT: Launch failed. Binary not found

cmakeeclipseeclipse-cdt

My goal is to use CMake with Eclipse CDT.
A tiny CMakeLists.txt file from every tutorial works well for me, and Eclipse succesfully imports and builds the generated project.
But after building it doesn't see the binary ("Launch failed. Binary not found.") because it goes into the root project directory, not in Debug/ or Release/ (or the project lacks some metadata).

How to build executables recognized by Eclipse?

Best Answer

you have to create a new run configuration. go to run > run configurations > C\C++ Application and follow instructions, press the new configuration button if you have the example hello world project you can copy the setup.

I added debug\"Program Name" under C\C++ application

Found solution: current directory is Debug, and not project directory, the command should be:

cp Client ../../Bin/Debug/

C++ – Launch Failed. Binary not found. CDT on Eclipse Helios

You must build an executable file before you can run it. So if you don't “BUILD” your file, then it will not be able to link and load that object file, and hence it does not have the required binary numbers to execute.

So basically right click on the Project -> Build Project -> Run As Local C/C++ Application should do the trick
