Oddly enough I'm receiving the notorious "Launch failed. Binary not found.", and have followed almost every solution accessible via Google though to no success.

For instance I've set the parser to "PE Windows Parser", and have tried building the project (as well as saving it) before running it, though still receive the same message.

Running one of my projects, I received the following in the console:

From first glance, there may be an issue with MinGW, though I'm not entirely sure what to deduce from it.

Does anybody have any suggestions? Sad

You have undefined references to a number of things that start with gl. Are you trying to program using Open GL? If so, you need to add the Open GL libraries to your build configuration so that they can be linked to your executable.

Ah yes, I am trying to program using OpenGL (should've mentioned that earlier). I attempting following the guide at ntu's Programming OpenGL in C/C++ (I can't link it due to an inadequate post count) site and added the freeglut, glu32 and opengl32 libraries, although there are still several undefined references and the bad reloc address remaining.

would you happen to have an idea on what libraries I might be missing (or anything at that)?
