Eclipse CDT is not generating the .O file after build in windows xp with neon Release (4.6.0)
Build id: 20160613-1800,but I retune to use MAR 2 is fine.

No error but the .o and .exe files are not generated in debug directory

Can you paste here the whole Console text ?
Generating object files is the job of the compiler, not the IDE. Maybe the call to the compiler is bad. Can you also show your project build settings ?

You don't execute the .o file. It's the output from the compile. It needs to be linked to the external libraries before it can be executed.
The console log is showing a compile with no errors but no link step. So, test.o was produced. What's missing is test.exe.
I don't use the internal builder however I doubt it has a built-in linker.
This may be a bug .

You could try setting CDT to build a Makefile and use make
(set Project --> Properties --> C/C++ Build ; Builder Type to External builder)
to see if it produces test.exe.

Quick guess is that you are right-clicking on the file and choosing to build just it. The console log you have provided only shows one g++ invocation. Try right-clicking on project and choosing Build Project instead.

Thank you.
Yes, when I tried setting CDT to build a Makefile and use the External builder,it produced test.exe.

Thank you.
It's not useful.I think that is a bug of the neon.

Hey guys,

Does anybody know the cause of this?
Why is that bug only on XP?

Thank you
