"Terminal to launch console programs:" is for the non-Windows OSes.

What type of project do you try to run, also what is the CB version?

??? i'm running windows 7.  CB version is 10.05

I need the console to open and stay open (eventually in linux as well but that's a different thread).  Nothing happens when I run a console properly compiled app (set to release).

HELLO?????????????????????

Trying to get console windows to open.

Do you have cmd.exe (Start -> Run -> cmd )?

Also look if the checkboxes Project->Properties->Build options -> run in console and Project->Properties->Build options -> wait program to terminate.
Both of them should be checked in order for C::B to show the console.

to devs: why is that so?

Yes, I agree with above. Code::blocks lower versions used to have a docked console output that could be permanently displayed quite useful indeed. Seems odd to remove a useful feature. Minor grumble really, I still like code::blocks lots.

marcoose777:
C::B never had an integrated console.
But it can print the log of your program in the "Build log" window (I think).
What is your problem exactly?

[marcoose777]

Probably being vague, but the console output window was dockable (version 8.0x) and permanently visible whether build target was debug or release, don't remember if c::b was invoked with additional options. Not really a problem tho, just took a little bit of time fathoming out what to do and when.

I don't know this feature (at least not in the offficial releses and trunk).
Can you please tell me where to download this version ?
