I just installed juno eclipse and Mingw and created a C++ project. That worked fine and ran like it should. But when I tried to create a C project, eclipse looks like it works, but looking in the directory, there is no executable. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and knows how to fix it.

Oh, one other thing I noticed is that the C++ project creates a Binaries folder under its project root while there is no such folder in the C project root.
(I have attached an image of the project explorer).



The code is the standard hello world template for both projects.



Sad

C++:

g++ -o Test.exe "src\\Test.o"

C:

gcc -o Test2.exe "src\\Test2.o"

Oh, I discovered another thing. If I create a C++ project hello world it will compile fine, but if I then replace the C++ code with straight C code as in:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
	cout << "!!!Hello World!!!" << endl; // prints !!!Hello World!!!
	return 0;
}


with

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

int main(void) {
	puts("!!!Hello World!!!"); /* prints !!!Hello World!!! */
	return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}


So, I have a Test3.cpp file with C code and it does not compile to an executable either.
