meaning of different run configurations [message #1822195]

In my console application I want to set/change the run configuration.

Click on Run - Run Configurations... opens a window with many choices.
For C/C++ there are three choices:
- C/C++Container Launcher
- C/C++ Remote application
- C/C++ Unit

For Debug Configurations... there is a further choice
- C/C++ Attach to Application

I am missing
- C/C++ Local Application
which is shown in the help pages.

None of the three run configurations works, i.e. I can create a new configuration but the Run button on the configuration window remains inactive.

What is the difference between the configurations above?

For debug configuration I selected "C/C++ Attach to Application" which works.

The differences are in the way the program is launched.

When I asked what you meant by"running" in your no-printf post
you said: "Running the program in normal mode, not debug mode".

How did you do that without a launch configuration?

I ran the program from a command window outside the IDE.
