Small patch to fix running console programs for Linux (Debian, etc)

[Sayd]

I noticed that by default my console program is not running after I hit ctrl+f10. I just see opening and immedietly closed xterm.
I got command C::B was trying to run and tryed to exec in my opened xterm:

Code Select Expand


xterm -T test-cpp -e /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/cb_console_runner /home/sayd/projects/test-cpp/bin/Debug/test-cpp

But it closed too.
I fixed command, now it runs as it should be:

Code Select Expand


xterm -T test-cpp -e /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/cb_console_runner /home/sayd/projects/test-cpp/bin/Debug/test-cpp"


So I decided to fix C::B too:

Don't know is it ideal to just take and patch, but it may be a place to start fixing problem.

I have exactly the same problem and it has been over a year from OP message.

I have Ubuntu 8.10 and codeblocks Version: 8.02svn5382.
I created new console project.
I did not play with any options.

when I click Play/Run button I got message below, and xterm windows shows for a split second.

Checking for existence: /home/amok/usr/src/cbtest/bin/Debug/cbtest
Executing: xterm -T $TERM -e /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/cb_console_runner LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:. /home/amok/usr/src/cbtest/bin/Debug/cbtest  (in /home/amok/usr/src/cbtest/.)
Process terminated with status 0 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)

I wonder if I did something wrong cause I cannot believe that that kind of bug is present for over an year.

Regards.
