Hello World Compiling issue [message #1786250]

Hi all
I installed Eclipse C/C++ on Ubuntu 16.04

When I create a new project and try to compile a Hello World, it gives me the following errors on the Console:

(-text+0x20): undefined reference to 'main'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [test1] Error 1

This is the code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void) {
     puts("Hello World");
     return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

However, the strange part is that when creating a project, if I select the project type as Hello World ANSI C Project, the project compiles...

Projects have the same code and the same structure, with the same Includes folders and the same src folder with the .c file in them....
I have no idea what's going on.
Could you help me?

They probably DON'T have the same structure or selected options.
Rather than spending a lot of time investigating why,
simply use the HelloWorld project as a template.

1) File --> New --> C Project --> Executable --> Hello World C Project
2) Give it another name and pick a location for it
3) Select a tool chain
4) Press FInish
5) delete or modify <project path>/src/<project name>.c
6) add your own code to <project path>/src

If you are really interested, compare the project files (.project, .cproject, etc.) between the two projects to find what's different.
