No console output when using SDL template

[TheChuckster]

Pardon me if this doesn't belong here, but I compile programs with Code::Blocks that use SDL. However, nothing shows up in the "DOS" console window when I try to output text via printf. I am running my programs in the IDE. The console does work, though, with console programs. Only with SDL programs am I unable to write to the console. When I compile SDL programs in Linux using GCC, outputting text to the console works perfectly.

A simple search would have given you the answer(s)...

Thanks! I tried Google first, but I should have also thought of searching the forums. I'm sorry for bothering you -- I know the feeling since I get redundant DS Doom e-mails all the time from people who don't read the FAQ. >_<

It's just that you would have solved your problem earlier if you had searched
