Launch failed. Binary not found. Why?

Question

I am on Windows 7 32 bit using Eclipse Juno. I have installed the CDT plugin. I have also installed Cygwin and the necessary files from packages like gdb, gcc, gawk, make etc.

I still get a Binary Not Found error. I had a look at this question Launch Failed Binary not found Eclipse for C in Windows tried everything but there seems to be no solution for it.

What is going wrong ?

Solution

There can be multiple reasons for this :

First : Select Preference (click on Eclipse in MAC machine left top OR Windows from menu in Windows OS to find preferences) --> C/C++ --> New c/c++project wizard--> change to MACOS GCC (for mac) or Cygwin GCC (for windows)

Second : I had the similar issue but code was different. In File.h file make sure

virtual ~Destructor () {}; //Don't forget Curly braces {}

Above statement shows destructor initialized () and defined with curly braces { } . In my code I forgot to define Destructor. Hope this helps
