having trouble with eclipse

[SomeGuyNamedMatthew]

I made a simple hello world app in eclipse but when i try to build or debug it says.

"launch failed. binary not found."

The code

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
	std::cout << "Hello World!!\n";
	return 0;
}

its probably a noob mistake help please.

Have you installed a compiler?

[SomeGuyNamedMatthew]

can you let me know of some good ones

thanks

You could try MinGW which you can get at http://www.mingw.org/. I'm not sure how to confidure your IDE to use MinGW though as I have no experience with Eclipse and very little with MinGW. I know it is a very solid compiler as it is simply a port of all the standard Linux tools such as GCC and G++, which are excellent.

MingW.
Once installed, you should go into the mingw's bin directory and copy mingw-make and make a copy of it called "make.exe". This will allow eclipse to work with no configuration :)

Go to this site, the author of this website have an MINGW IDE that combined everything from editor, compiler, and most of the library installed. Just click and install. Very beautiful.
