Executing cuda program through Eclipse is giving error

I am using eclipse to execute a cuda program. I have downloaded a CUDA PLUGIN for eclipse. When I execute sample cuda program given by plugin its fine but when I try to execute any other program I am getting error undefined reference to main...

make 
Building target: Add_cuda
Invoking: NVCC Linker
nvcc -L/export/trainee3/dinesh/cuda5.0/lib64 -o  "Add_cuda"  ./mycuda.o   -lcudart
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/crt1.o: In function `_start':
(.text+0x20): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I found in stackoverflow that some times we get this problem because of system startup file I used flag -nostartfiles but it is not working in my case..

I have included lib64 and include path in c++ build.

So any suggestion to over come this problem....

Install CUDA 5. It comes with Nsight Eclipse version. Very Elegant to use. NV Visual profiler is integrated with Nsight. Syntax highlighting and debug mode are very easy to use.

We've been over this already.

Use nsight eclipse edition instead.

If you have cuda 5.0 or 5.5 installed, just type nsight in a terminal session.

If you really want to use that Eclipse CUDA plugin (which is no longer supported, I don't believe), then start with the C++ sample project, which you agree now and back then would work. Then modify the source code in that project. Don't create your own project.
