HelloWorld stopped working [message #698152]

I recently installed eclipse CDT, and was trying to learn how it worked through making a simple HelloWorld program as described by the help section. It builds fine and without error, but it does not run. When I select the option to run it, I get the error "This program has stopped working" from windows... In the output on the bottom it says that it is running until it is closed by windows. Windows then tells me that it has "Stopped working unexpectedly," or along those lines. I am wondering if this is a common problem with a common fix? Or something different? Your help is much appreciated.

Its more likely you are missing something, then that you have some common problem. Try running the application directly from windows. Did you try the Debug launch or Run launch? Also what tool-chain are you using mingw or cygwin gcc?

I am having the exact same problem. I installed eclipse indigo c++, installed mingw, msys, and gdb. I set the enviroment PATH variable to include both mingw and msys. I created the default hello world program built it successfully, but when I try to run it I get a windows message telling me the program has stopped working. I can debug the program within eclipse and it runs from the command line, just not when I run it without debugging in eclipse.

Try project>properties>run/debug settings click the project in the window select edit and make sure the check-box next to path is checked. This is what fixed the same problem for me.

I am having the same problem, but the fixes posted are not working for me. I have windows vista, installed cygwin, added c:\cygwin\bin to my path, installed Eclipse and all the updates I can possibly think of, and I can't figure out what my problem is. I build the HelloWorld thing, and it works when I run it form the command line, but it won't work for Eclipse.
When I try the debugger it gives me this message:

Can't find a source file at "/cygdrive/c/Users/Owner/cppworkspace/HelloWorldProject/src/HelloWorldProject.cpp"
Locate the file or edit the source lookup path to include its location.

This is obviously a bad path, but I don't know why it is getting this path. How do I "edit the source lookup path"?

I don't know if it is everyone's problem, but I fixed my problem by installing the 32 bit version of Eclipse instead of the 64 bit. Didn't think I had to cause this is a 64 bit machine, but whatever works I guess.
