Run is grayed out and unavailable - Xcode (C++)

Hi

I just installed Xcode, everything ok

I created my first C++ Project/File

The problem that I have is "run" is grayed out and obviously cannot be pressed. Build and run is also grayed out, although I can build the project fine without errors.

What is happening? Why is run grayed out? (i.e. not available)

Would extremely appreciate help on this.

Thank you in advance

Pete

Create a Command Line Tool project, which is in the Application category under Mac OS X. Choose C++ from the Type pop-up menu.

The following paragraph was in response to pete's original reply to my answer. He was getting a bunch of compiler errors. After I posted my response, pete changed his reply to say that everything worked.

I created a C++ command-line tool project, clicked the Build and Run button in the project window toolbar, and everything worked fine. Create a new C++ command-line tool project and click the Build and Run button. Do you still get compiler errors?
