Hi
I'm trying to use eclipse cdt to develop a simple opengl application, mainly for educational purpose. I have managed to set up evertything using mingw under windows 7.

However, i still have one big problem: I can't run my program from eclipse by clicking the run button.
Everytime i do so, the application terminates immediately, the console only shows "<terminated> app.exe ..." and the opengl windows (created with glut) never opens.

The strange thing is, that the application runs fine if i open it directly in windows explorer and even if i run it in the eclipse debugger. Only starting it directly via the run button doesn't work (which is anoying as i don't want to fire up the debugger everytime i want to test a small change).

Has anyone of you an idea what i might do wrong ?

Hi Thomas,

is this a C++ MinGW program?

Then you probably have the "Missing DLL Problem":

It's working now, don't ask me why, I didn't change anything in the configuration... I just kept developing using the debugger to run it and didn't bother to try the run button until just now...

My app is a MinGW prog, but I don't think the problem was related to the missing dll, my PATH was set up correctly.
