I'm not entirely sure what's going on, but my system is Windows 7 with MinGW and EGit. I've cloned my project from GitHub via EGit and setup the project properties to find the appropriate libraries I'm using etc, etc... Things with MinGW seem to be setup just fine, as the program builds and links without complaint (although cleaning the project doesn't work, for some reason). In any case, I was having a problem running the binary so I cleared the build configuration and created a new one, but when doing so (and selecting my project) the binary cannot be found in the C++ Application->Search Project. If I select 'Browse' and search my file system, I can find the binary in the Debug directory, but there's an error message: "Program is not a recognized executable."

As this is a git project, the program is in a separate directory from the workspace in my filesystem (although that wasn't a problem with building the program). Any thoughts as to why the binary isn't recognized (or why Eclipse can't find it be default?)

Check Project Properties->C/C++ Build->Settings if the binary parser for "PE Windows" is enabled.
