Do you have the gcc toolchain (compiler, linker, debugger etc.) installed?

I'm having the same problem with Win 64 bit. Using eclipse Indigos.
I have installed from what i can tell. MinGW, Cross GCC and Microsoft Visual C++. They show up in the "Create C++ project of selected type" window.

If i select MinGW it allows me to create the demo "hello world" program. But none of the binaries show up in the Project pannel. For any of the Tool Chains.

It is obvious to me that Eclipse is finding the compilers. So why not installing the binaries?

If the toolchains show up in "Create C++ project of selected type" then Eclipse has detected them correctly. The message "Launch failed,binaries not found" means that Eclipse cannot find the application you want to debug/launch! Most of the times this message appears when you forget to build your project before launching or build errors occured. This can be compiler errors in your code or a missing/wrongly installed toolchain.
When you build "hello world" what output is shown in the Console Window in Eclipse?
