Launch Failed. Binary not found. CDT on Eclipse Helios

I'm using Eclipse Helios on Ubuntu 10.04, and I'm trying to install CDT plugin on it. I download it from here here.

And then I go to Install New Software and select the zip file (I don't extract it, just select the zip file). And its ok, it installs, everything works fine, it shows optional features, blah blah blah.

And then I create a new HelloWorld project. And when I try to run it, it shows an error and says:

Launch failed. Binary not found.

Can anyone explain me how to fix it?

Thanks.


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


First you need to make sure that the project has been built. You can build a project with the hammer icon in the toolbar. You can choose to build either a Debug or Release version. If you cannot build the project then the problem is that you either don't have a compiler installed or that the IDE does not find the compiler.

To see if you have a compiler installed in a Mac you can run the following command from the command line:

g++ --version

If you have it already installed (it gets installed when you install the XCode tools) you can see its location running:

which g++

If you were able to build the project but you still get the "binary not found" message then the issue might be that a default launch configuration is not being created for the project. In that case do this:

Right click project > Run As > Run Configurations... > 

Then create a new configuration under the "C/C++ Application" section > Enter the full path to the executable file (the file that was created in the build step and that will exist in either the Debug or Release folder). Your launch configuration should look like this:

Go to the Run->Run Configuration-> now

Under C/C++ Application you will see the name of your executable + Debug (if not, click over C/C++ Application a couple of times). Select the name (in this case projectTitle+Debug ).

Under this in main Tab -> C/C++ application -> Search your project -> in binaries select your binary titled by your project ....
