Problem running any .exe file a make

[owenisred]

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I'm also pretty new to Code::Blocks.

I'm running into a few problems at the moment. I'm using the SDL library in my project, and I debugged and built it. My program runs instantly and works perfectly when I do it this way.

However, when I go to the debug folder, and run the .exe, the application appears for a second, and then closes as soon as I open it.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Owen.

You can add the pause statement such as "getchar()" in your souce code.

execute the file from the CMD Prompt. Double Clicking does NOT give as much info sometimes.

You are likely missing DDLs needed to run your exe.
Use Dependency Walker to check what DLLs are needed.

Edit: Code::Blocks automatically adds the Compiler bin folder to the system path and the path of some/all library(s) used in the CB project.

Note: The prior post could also be the answer.
