C++ HelloWorld not printing correctly

Question

I just installed c/c++ development tools for my eclipse and everything is working except no text is being printed in the console when I run the hello world program, but I receive no errors. I'm really stumped, anyone know why this is?

enter image description here Edit:

Ok I realized if that debug it, it works correctly, but not if I run it, any ideas there?

You program seems fine. How about your eclipse? You could try some sample code see if it works properly. — zw324, Jul 12 '11 at 04:53

Are you using a 64-bit version of Eclipse? If so, that might be your problem. The 64-bit version doesn't do console output. sigh Try downgrading to the 32-bit version.

On SO, check this question. On the Eclipse forums, check this thread.

Ah, I am, that stinks. Guess I have to downgrade to 32bit. :( – Ryan Stull Jul 12 '11 at 14:39

Does a window pop up then disappear? It could be printing it in console then closing as soon as it hits the end of the code...

try to make your code like this:

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>

using namespase std;

int main()
{
  cout << "helllo, world" << endl;
  getch();
  return 0;
}

You must set the environment so the eclipse can find the c++ compiler.
Go to Computer and right click Properties -> advanced system settings -> enviroment variables.
Scroll down in system variables and find the path (it is named so). Press edit and append in the path the value C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin;. You will have something like C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin;C:\programfiles........
Then start again the eclipse the problem should have been solved.
