"Program file does not exist" [message #165736]

Hi,

Using Fedora Core 4, Eclipse 3.1.1 with the latest CDT (according to
update manager), I'm trying to compile a simple "Hello World" as a
managed C++ project. However, though the code compiles ok after "Run",
it says "Program file does not exist". Any idea?

Thanks,

Huub

well, _does_ it exist? if yes, does it exist at the location the launcher
looks for it and with the name the launcher uses?

Well, no, it doesn't. But my point is: if I create a project, and within
the project I create a sourcefile, and compile it, why doesn't it create
an executable just like on Windows?
When I create a standardfile within a standard project, and give it a .c
extension, it works ok. It doesn't when I give it .cpp as extension.
Any explanation to this? Am I doing things wrong? I find the docs and
guides on using CDT very limited: the guide on creating a project being
focused on Windows only.

it usually does. at least i never stumbeld over this problem.
if the executable was/is not created there was/is always a cause.
have a look at yor configuration:
- does the launcher search for the executable at a location where the
executable exist?
- did you ever build _before_ running (i e independently)?
- do you have in the "c/c++-projects"-view in your project a pseudo-folder
called "Binaries"?
- does a manual build work (i e outside eclipse)?

i think it's rather a misunderstanding of the functionality of eclipse
than a bug that causes your troubles.

Actually, no.

Yes.

That's what I was thinking as well. Now that I have a very simple code
running, there's some odd behaviour I experienced before.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int x;
cout << "Robot1" << endl;
cin >> x;
cout << x << endl;
return 0;
}

When run from commandline in a terminal it runs ok. When run inside
Eclipse, the following happens: without "cin >> x" and the next
"cout.." it immediately prints Robot1 in the console. With it, however,
it first asks for input, and then prints the cout lines in correct
order. Why would that be?
