(Not sure if the right forum) Eclipse is acting weird.
Every time I try to compile a C/C++ file that grey box in the middle top pops up. Doesn't happen with java. Anyone know what could be causing it? Using linux mint 13.
First, make sure your JRE is up to date and all of your plugins for Eclipse are as well.
Whenever Eclipse does weird things, I try turning off one plugin at a time to see which one might be the culprit. Once found, I remove that plugin and re-install it.
Another scenario is to do a fresh install of Eclipse and re-install your plugins one by one. That is probably the "nuclear" option, though, since there's a lot of setup involved.
Sorry it took me so long to get back, spent the weekend with family.
I got it kinda working, but now it says launch failed, binary not found. I did this with both the plugins and I tried downloading the c/c++ ecliple from the website. Both give the same thing.
