CMake and Eclipse CDT: Launch failed. Binary not found

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?

What does launch failed binary not found mean in eclipse?

This error is caused by some mis configuration in Eclipse. As error clearly says “Binary Not Found” which means while compiling C++ code there are some dependencies which are required but Eclipse cannot found those in Project Environment.

How do I get C++ in eclipse?

Test the C/C++ installation as follows: In Eclipse, go to the "File" menu, then "New", then "C++ Project" if it's there. If not, choose "Project", then find "C/C++" in the list of wizards, click the "+" sign to expand it, and choose "C++ Project". A dialog box will ask whether to open the C/C++ perspective.

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

I just had the same error, and here is what I did:

Proper binary parser must be selected so Eclipse can recognize the executable: Select the project, then right click.

Project->Properties->C/C++ Build->Settings->Binary Parsers, PE Windows Parser (or you can select Cygwin if you use that compiler).

That worked for me at least for Cross compiler.

In Linux I use Elf parser.
