The extension .exe is only a naming convention on windows. On Linux there is no extension necessary. The system automatically detects if a file is an executable. And, of course, you will get a executable when you compile and link your program.

Before you ask
- search this forum
- see the FAQ http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/FAQ
- google

The actual executable binaries are inside your workspace and take the project name.
So for instance I have a project named exp1 and I see a binary in
/home/tim/pi/exp1/Debug/exp1
where the directory pi is my workspace directory. When I go to this directory and type
file exp1
it will show you specific qualities of the binary executable, if exp1 is executable.
Mine is compiling for another architecture, but if you are compiling for your local machine then you would simply type:
./exp1
and it would run. Mine would just say "hello world!!!" using a fresh project from Eclipse. This is the simplest case.
