Terminal window

Hello,

First q:
How to get terminal window to open when I run program through IDE so I can print to them during program execution?

Second q:
Is here some command like "RunningInIDE" so I can get functions which will be disabled when file would be standalone?
Like this:

If (RunningInIDE)
    printf("This is item %d"), i);

This can only work with interpreted languages, like VB for example. I C++ this is technically not possible. But you can just use a default / release target for this purposes. Within debug, set a #define accordingly to include the debug statements, while in release mode (target) this is just ignored by the compiler.

It seems you do a switch from a language (VB I guess) to C++. You should start with forgetting everything you know / expect from VB and learn new from scratch.

 :D Morten, You have absolutelly right and you guess fully!
I still noticed that after many years i am at beginning  :shock:

OK, regarding first question?
Note: I allready have xterm -T $TITLE -e in my Enviroinment settings but terminal here dont appear with starting a programm. Interesting is that I have some downloaded samples which opens a terminal. I look to all settings in them but I cant find "quirk".

Any idea?

Check your project properties, if it is a "console application" (otherwise there will never be a console) and you have enabled "Pause if execution ends" on the "build target" tab. Probably the console opens, but just closes too quickly.
