    The cause:

    Because there are some misconfigurations in Eclipse , so it causes this error. As the message states explicitly, “Binary Not Found”, it means that some dependencies are required for building C++ code, but Eclipse is unable to find them in the Project Environment.

    This error is also caused by some invalid information (such as DWARF 3) in the binary of the chosen project (which none binaries can run).

    Solution:

    To recognize the executable, Eclipse must choose a suitable binary parser.

    First, you have to click right on the project which you expect. Then, let’s click OK and do the following sequences:

    Project->Properties->C/C++ Build->Settings->Binary Parsers, PE Windows Parser.

    If Cygwin compiler was used, Cygwin Parser should be used as well. At least on Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7, the cross-compiler worked effectively for us. On Linux, we use Elf parser.

    There is another way which can solve your problem. You only need to choose the project that you want and then press CTRL + B. It’s  not only simple but also effectively.

  2. This was what happened to me, and I came up with a solution. Let’s see if it works for you.

    After you’ve built your project, click the Hammer icon

    1. Select “Run”.
    2. Run Configurations.
    3. Select “C++ Application”
    4. Click the “New Launch Configuration” icon at the top of the window.
    5. Under the C/C++ App, select “Browse”.
    6. Navigate to the folder in which you created your original project.
    7. You will need to enter the Debug folder.
    8. Click on the binary file that shares the same name and description as the project.
    9. Select “OK”.
    10. To confirm the link that you have just created, click “Apply”.
    11. Close the window.

    After that, you will be able run the project as often as you like.

    This should work for you.
