Run Command looks in wrong directory [message #782611]

I'm a newb who installed eclipse and cygwin on Windows 7 for C++ development. Created project "test". Run command looks for

C:\Users\Michael\workspace\test\test

But the make process created executable at

c:\Users\Michael\workspace\test\Debug\test.exe

So, it looks in the wrong directory for the wrong file name. What am I doing wrong?

Open your launch configuration: in the toolbar click the small triangle right of the run symbol. Select "Run configurations.." then select your config. In the main tab you can set the application to run.

Thanks, Axel. Do you know of a way to fix this for every project or will I have to do this manually every time? I tend to write many small projects.

You can select the binary from the (virtual) folder "Binaries" in the project explorer. This way Eclipse will create the correct launch config (which you later can use then).
