First, you should ask such questions, about C/C++, in the Eclipse CDT forum.
For your case, however, it depends on whether or not your makefile
renames a.out to some better name you specify. (Eclipse CDT may do
something like this, I don't know. I have 30 years in C behind me, but
I've never used Eclipse to do it in.)
Second, you must make your linked file executable:
vernon:~/development> chmod a+x myprogram
Then, from the command line, your executable will just run as long as a)
you're in its parent subdirectory:
vernon:~/development> ./myprogram
or b) it's in one of the subdirectories in your PATH variable:
vernon:~> which myprogram
/home/vernon/development/myprogram
vernon:~> myprogram
or c) you open a Nautilus or other GUI file browser and double-click its
icon in the file system.
Based on the information you give, it's pretty hard to steer you
exactly. I hope what I'm saying here clicks somewhere with what you
already know. As I say, your best bet is to associate with "others of
your kind" in the Eclipse CDT forum. You'll get faster and better advice
from them.
Best regards,
