C++ projects give no output, am I doing something wrong? [message #1064168]

Downloaded the C/C++ eclipse IDE today, tried out a simple hello world C project, the one the IDE includes worked fine I think. Then I tried the hello world C++ project, it compiled but it would not print on the console in eclipse. Did I do something wrong? I just started a normal C++ project that the ide included and it wont work for some reason. Anyone know what to do?

Hi there,
I am new to eclipse as well. I seem to have a problem with it all the time. I am trying to make it work for almost two weeks.
I am getting no output for the following code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
  int a;

  printf("Enter an integer\n");
  scanf("%d", &a);

  printf("Integer that you have entered is %d\n", a);

  return 0;
}

There is nothing appearing on the console. If I change the main() to main(void) [i know this is wrong], then I get the following error:

c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.6.2/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot open output file *******.exe: Permission denied

and this error persists even if I change the code back to normal.
I struggle to sort the eclipse out and make it work as I need it for my engineering project. I can program in Matlab so it won't be hard to do C. Just a little practice. If you cannot help me with this problem then just, please, tell me the name of other program I can use for C. Making eclipse work for two weeks makes me sick now.

Thanks in advance

I assume that you read the FAQ:

?

Yep, when I put the

setvbuf(stdout, NULL, _IONBF, 0);
setvbuf(stderr, NULL, _IONBF, 0);

At the start of main like it tells me to it gives me like 4 errors.

EDIT: Those errors being _IONBF stdout, stderr, and setvbuf were not declared in this scope.

They are part of the stdio.h header, so try including that
