Hello everbody,

I started working with eclipse yesterday morning and after 15 hours of desperate trying and searching for solutions I still wasnt able to solve all problems, so I decided to ask for help.

I started a usual hello.cpp program as an Executable Empty C++-Project with the cygwin toolchain.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
cout << "Hello, world!" << endl;
return 0;
}

I set the Cygwin PE and PE Windows Parser active and added the links "C:\cygwin64\usr\include" and "C:\cygwin64\lib\gcc\i686-pc-cygwin\4.7.3\include" to the Source Location in Properties -> C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols. Without the link folders eclipse were not able to identify cout, endl and std. Now the program can be build without any errors, but there is no hello.exe folder in the debug directory and therefore the error "Launch failed. Binary not found." occurs when I try to run the program.

After so many hours, I'd really appreciate some help!

Greets, Gustav
