"The System Cannot Find the File Specified" When Running C++ Program

reading In a file in C program cannot find file specified

In regards to your question your code seems to work its just where you are referencing
the file I believe.

you put fp = fopen("time_logs/time.log" , "r");

but I believe you want fp = fopen("./time_logs/time.log" , "r");

The ./ makes it so you are refrencing the relative project path then the folder containing the files and then finally the file.

The system cannot find the file specified while programming C

It seems that the whole issue was down to the C file not actually being inside the project itself. This is quickly solved by looking at where the file is located by looking at the properties window, then locating the file, followed by copying the file and pasting it inside the "Solution Explorer" window.

Now, it actually shows me the error checks and what errors the code has. When I now create a "Hello World" program, it opens a separate window and prints out "Hello World!".

I must've thought that since I had the project open, and then opening a file from my desktop, that it could run perfectly fine. Just need to keep this in mind next time.

The system cannot find the file specified in Visual Studio C++. Why?

It's not able to find the executable Project1.exe because your program didn't compile successfully which is probably due to the two main functions you have defined.

C++ error: Unable to start program 'filepath.exe' The system cannot find the file specified

Just saw the problem in your code which is actually giving you an error. Your code is as follows:

    #include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout << "Hello StackOverFlow";
return 0;
}

If you notice closely, you have not left a space in between #include<iostream> which is giving you a run time error and states that the specified file cannot be found. If you left space as in:

     #include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout << "Hello StackOverFlow";
return 0;
}

It will not give you an error. I hope this helps you overcome the issue. Glad to help you Phillips! :)

Cannot run program make: The system cannot find the file specified?

Use Process Explorer to take a look at the PATH environment variable inside Eclipse's process. It's possible that it's changing its PATH internally -- if that's the case, you'll need to figure out how to configure Eclipse so that its PATH is set up correctly.

If you're finding that C:\cygwin\bin isn't in Eclipse's PATH, and you recently added that to your PATH, you need to close and restart Eclipse for that change to take affect.

If you still can't figure it out, try using Process Monitor with a filter for Eclipse.exe to get a long, detailed listing of everything it's trying to do. Look for the call to CreateProcess() that's failing and see if you can learn anything more.

CLion Cannot run program make The system cannot find the file specified

Ok found the solution.

@uta was in the comment kinda right. CLion could find the make executable, but make dependes on a bunch of other coreutils which it couldn't find.

So I had to add C:\msys64\mingw64\bin and C:\msys64\usr\bin to my windows PATH.

How did I figure it out?
Executing mingw32-make in the mingw terminal worked fine.

So I executed mingw32-make clean in the terminal inside CLion, which gave me errors described. So the error messages wheren't from CLion, but from the make command itself.

After that I tried adding the both paths to PATH only inside CLion but I couldn't find an option for it. So ultimately I had to add it in the system environment variables. Don't know yet if this is messing sth other up because of clashes in the executable names.

Oh and now I'm getting errors in the "Configuring project" step probably because of parsing errors..
