Resolving Launch Failed. Binary not found in Eclipse CDT for C++

Encountering the "Launch Failed. Binary not found" error in Eclipse CDT (C/C++ Development Tooling) can be quite frustrating, especially when you're eager to test your freshly written C++ code. This guide aims to provide a comprehensive solution to help you resolve this issue and get your projects up and running.

Understanding the Issue

The "Launch Failed. Binary not found" error usually occurs when Eclipse is unable to locate the compiled binary file for your C++ project. This can happen for several reasons, such as incorrect build settings, missing binaries, or configuration issues.

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Confirm Build Configuration

First, ensure that your project is properly configured to build the binary. Follow these steps:

Select the Project: Right-click on your C++ project in the Project Explorer.

Properties: Go to Properties > C/C++ Build > Settings.

Check Binary Parser: Ensure that the correct binary parser is selected in C/C++ Build > Settings > Binary Parsers.

Step 2: Build the Project

Ensure that the project is fully built:

Clean: Right-click your project and select Clean Project.

Build: Right-click again and select Build Project.

Step 3: Check the Binary File

After building, make sure that the binary file is generated in the Debug or Release folder located in your project directory.

Step 4: Configure Run Settings

If the binary file exists, but the issue persists, configure the run settings:

Run Configuration: Go to Run > Run Configurations.

Select C/C++ Application: In the left pane, select C/C++ Application.

Project and Application Settings: Ensure that the correct project and binary file are selected.

Step 5: Re-import the Project

If the problem still isn't resolved, try re-importing the project:

Export: First, export your project by right-clicking and selecting Export.

Remove and Re-import: Remove the project from Eclipse and re-import it.

Additional Tips

Toolchain Compatibility: Make sure that the selected toolchain is compatible with your project settings.

Check Permissions: Ensure your build directory isn't write-protected.

Console Output: Always check the console output for additional clues about the issue.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the "Launch Failed. Binary not found" error in Eclipse CDT and successfully compile and run your C++ projects. Happy coding!
