Been banging my head on the wall.
Windows 7
Eclipse Helios CDT
MinGW toolchain.
Simple hello world compiled gives this error, and I have not idea. Googled for two hours and searched all property dialogs to find nothing.
GAHHHH!!!! Ironically I just read this article the other day and thought "Well that's not true." http://www.drdobbs.com/tools/just-let-me-code/240168735
Anyways, any help is appreciated.
On a side note, I just downloaded Visual Studio 2010 so eclipse would "just work." It doesn't. It seems while I was working with libraries and Java and the web and stuff, C++ by hand because something that a new programmer can't do anymore, which is kind of sad.
I have the same version. Just downloaded it on Friday. I am also using the newest Eclipse (Luna).
This can happen if you've accidentally targeted a different architecture from the one you're running, so give the project settings a check. You could be building a 64-bit binary and then trying to run it on a 32-bit copy of Windows, as an example.

I'm on windows 7, so there should be no problem running either 32 or 64 bit apps. I have been trying to find a setup for teaching C++ that could use as many of the same tools as possible but still allow for Mac, Widows, or Linux. I settled on Eclipse, but I had hoped installing and configuring the libraries and tool chains would be easier.
What happens if you compile hello world from the command line using MinGW? At least that should tell you if the problem is the compiler or the IDE.
Put hello.cpp in a directory, command just g++ hello.cpp, then run a.out.
(This assumes your bin and include directories are set up by default, may not be the case if you have only used it via the IDE)
I've not had this problem with MinGW myself.

This was my thought for a next step. I'll try it tonight. I suspect I did something weird when installing it. It seemed like a lot places to go wrong are built into the installer.
