Eclipse Compile Problem, Launch Failed No Binaries

I amm using Eclipse Ganymede on Windows. Whenever I compile, I get the common error, "Launch Failed, No Binaries," I gave up on Eclipse and tried to switch to Visual Studio if my computer could have accepted, but it didn't. So I switched to making tries on Eclipse only.

Now, the console shows this error at the start only:

CODE
**** Build of configuration Default for project Temp ****

(Cannot run program "make": Launching failed)


And as I have attached the image, it shows a question mark on includes. On standard C library as well. What kind of C compiler is it? Where should I get the binaries? Is make required?

Please help. I have posted the question on many forums but it seems no one is willinng to help. Because of these errors, I cannot progress to learning the language.

Try Code::Blocks. It comes with the mingw compiler.

You should probably get a flavor of GCC for Windows. MinGW tends to be the one to use in this sort of a situation. If you get the automated installer, it will do the dirty work of adding it's directory to your PATH environment variable. Then, you should be able to use Eclipse CDT. If it still can't find make, then you need to go into the mingw bin directory and make a copy of mingw32-make.exe to make.exe in the same directory.

So the trouble is that I have an IDE but not a compiler? I would appreciate if you tell me where to get make for Windows. GCC is an old version as of when I checked, 2001. What about the libraries, and? A question mark is displayed on all includes.

And what I really meant to ask was, where do I get the mingw32-make.exe? Do I keep it in same directory as eclipse.exe? And how do I change the main compile command in eclipse, that is, like change make to mingw32-make. I read somewhere.

Maybe this link will be helpful?

EDIT: Using that link, I was able to successfully build and run a simple Hello, World program. Make sure you add C:\MinGW\bin to your path, and restart Eclipse.

No. MinGW is installed in a different directory. Here is a HOWTO on installing MinGW:

The install should include all of the necessary components.

All very helpful. Thank you all, I am ready for programming in Windows. Do you have any clue how to do the same in Linux? GCC is working on every shell but No Binaries issue persists. Once again, thanks.
