Run built program from C::B?

[cube1982]

I use Cygwin GCC to compile and build my code via C::B. But I can't run that program by clicking the "run" button in C::B because it requires X11 launched. Is it possible to configure C::B to be able to launch X11, instead of running the Windows console, and thus to run a program ?

Thanks,
Geg

Afraid not. I don't think it would work well, either (startup time?). I wouldn't know how to launch the process inside X from Windows, either (not in an easy way, anyway).

What could work, though, would be to build and run Code::Blocks under Cygwin. I've never tried that and don't recall if anyone else has successfully done it, but actually, why not.

I tried to build Code::Blocks under Cygwin and failed. I would not suggest anyone but an Cygwin or an Code::Blocks expert try it.

Thanks, then I will just start x11 from the command line.
