As we all know, Eclipse can not only run Java project, It also can run C/C++, Python, PHP etc, but we need to install plugins and configure run environment. I want to run C++ Project on Eclipse+cygwin+cdt (Windows 7), I have added following these environment variables. "C:\cygwin64\usr\include" "C:\cygwin64\lib" "C:\cygwin64\bin"

and configure Eclipse toolchain = CygwinGcc and binary parsers = PE Windows Parser, I also set sth about "Paths and Symbols", but I still cannot run C/C++, following is the error info:

"Lauching CTest Debug" has encounted a problem. The program file specied in the launch configuration does not exist."

there is no binaries files, is there something wrong with it? I'm confused.

Did you start eclipse from within a cygwin shell? What does it say when the compiler is run? - πάντα ῥεῖ

An executable probably doesn't exist in your debug folder.

There is a thread on how to get c++ running on Eclipse here:

The program file specified in the launch configuration does not exist

Hope that solves your problem

Did you install gcc toolchain successfully in Cygwin? Try to include gcc, gdb and make when you install cygwin.
