Command Prompt Issues with Eclipse [message #1415338]

I have downloaded the eclipse software along with a MinGW GCC Compiler to use for a C programming course, but my problem is that I run my code (it tells me on the console tab at the bottom that the program is running), the command prompt does not come up, prompting me with my program. I can even go into the command prompt window manually and find the .exe file and run the code (which runs properly). I have also editied my PATH in my environment variable settings. I am not sure though what could be causing this command prompt to function improperly, though. Whether it be a simple setting that needs to be changed, or whether my avast anti-virus or some other security type program could be the culprit. I would appreciate any advice or suggestions, and would be happy to provide any additional information.

Thanks in advance.

You don't get a separate command prompt window when you run from
Eclipse. The Eclipse console is the command prompt window. You can
type your input into the Eclipse console.
