Configuring Eclipse for MinGW

Question

I am using Eclipse Juno with MinGW (latest version) on my Win7-Laptop. My example code is successfully built within the IDE, but I can neither run nor debug it!

When I choose Run as=>Local C/C++-Application, I get

Launch failed. Binary not found.

However, there IS an exe-file as a result of the build process!

When I call cmd.exe, navigate to the source directory and call this built exe (a.out.exe), it works without problems!

I guess this is due to wrong/missing configuration of eclipse, but I couldn't find useful info on that so far. This thread mentions environment variables. I added MinGW and Msys to my PATH variable (that's why I can compile) but I can't run my software in eclipse!

So, what can be done to enable debugging?
