Eclipse error "error starting process. Exec_tty error:Cannot run program"

Question

I am using Ubuntu LTS 14 on x86. I have integrated DS-5 in Eclipse. I am trying to compile a simple loop program. There are no errors when I build the project, but I face an error,

error starting process. Exec_tty error:Cannot run program. Unknown reason.

A similar question was asked here and I followed the available answers. It solved the "Launch Failed error" but I got stuck in the new error. "Launch Failed. Binary Not Found." Snow Leopard and Eclipse C/C++ IDE issue

In the project settings, I have selected GNU elf parser, aarch64-arm-none-eabi compiler and linker. The code is,

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
int main ()
{
   int i, j, k;
   int l = 0;

   for(i=0; i<1000; i++) {
      l = l +1;
      for(j=0; j<100; j++) {
          l = l +1;
     for(k=1; k<100; k++) {
             l = l +1;
        //printf("hello\n");
                      }
               }
            }
   return 0;
}

are you trying to run the program on an `arm' architecture? Most PCs are x86 or x64 architecture. — user3629249, Aug 30 '15 at 13:52
@user3629249 yes on x86 machine. but I also tried it to port the .axf file to qemu/arm. it does not execute over qemu either. — junaids, Aug 31 '15 at 02:54
@junaids Have you integrated DS-5 plugin into your existing eclipse or have you installed a complete DS-5 IDE installation? — Oak Bytes, Sep 01 '15 at 10:43
@junaids can you please post the complete error message either in the post or in the pastebin.com and provide the link? — Oak Bytes, Sep 02 '15 at 17:10
regarding the line: `#include ` Nothing in the posted code uses anything from the `time.h` header file, so the code should not be including that file. — user3629249, May 22 '16 at 16:31
please post your compile and link and execute command lines. Note: I would expect them to be VERY similar to: `gcc -c -g -Wall -Wextra -pedantic myFile.c -o myFile.o` followed by: `gcc -g myFile.o -o myFile` and finally: `./myFile` — user3629249, May 22 '16 at 16:37
please consistently indent the code. Never use tabs for indenting. Suggest using 4 spaces for each indent level as that is wide enough to be visible even with variable width fonts and allows for many indent levels across the page — user3629249, May 22 '16 at 17:39
I compiled/linked/ran the posted code, everything worked perfectly, with no problems. So the source of your problem is the set up of eclipse or DS-5 ide — user3629249, May 22 '16 at 17:41

It looks like you may not have the permission to run the program. Check the information of your executable file using ls -l filename and try chmod 774 filename.

Also, the problem occurs when your workspace is on a mounted drive. If so, edit your build path on your problem explanation and I would guide you to set it.

Thanks, I tried the chmod and got a new error, /home/junaid/DS-5-Workspace/loop_new/Debug/loop_new.axf: Invalid argument – junaids Aug 28 '15 at 06:49
This is complete error in the Eclipse console. I dont have the reputation to attach an image file! In the proble detail it is written, L3912W: Option"force_scanlib" is deprecated – junaids Aug 28 '15 at 07:20
@junaids i mean post the error message in plain text, part of the message may lose some essential information. Also, show us your code – Wayne Sudo Aug 28 '15 at 07:46
