I have been through the C/C++ Development User Guide "Getting Started" 'folder' at * (aitch tee tee pee colon slash slash help dot eclipse dot org slash indigo slash index dot jsp) and was able to successfully create a Hello World app that ran, but now I have been stymied by creating my own, from my textbook for my class in C.

Am I missing some obvious C only section there, due to my cluelessness and virginal newbieness?

I typed in the code from page 35 of C By Discovery and tried to follow the same procedures detailed in the tutorial that directed me to use mostly canned code, but Eclipse finds nothing to build or run.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help.

P.S. I am on a MacBook running OS X 10.6.x and I would go to the school for help with this, but IT there is almost all Windows and largely clueless. Honest. Very nice people, but not a good source for help with basic questions, I fear this one might give them nightmares.

* P.P.S. Sorry, no links allowed in first five posts.

As mentioned in the "sticky" topic posted at the top of this forum,
C/C++ specific questions are best asked in the CDT forum group.

Thanks Eric. I thought this was a newbie question so that was why I posted here in error.

I will repost in the appropriate forum.

Apologies for my ignorance.
