Well, that'd be something like changing that line 73 to:
int ret;
if((ret = system(cmdline)) == -1) printf("Error: failed to launch xterm. Make sure xterm is installed on your system");

Should be as trivial as that, but I have no Linux system to test.

If the terminal does not exist (xterm in this case, but others can be configured), cb_console_runner will not be started, because cb_console_runner is executed inside the termnal and not vice-versa.

So the correct place to check for the return-value would be in CompilerGCC::OnJobEnd, but only if we tried to run the exe and not after compiling or whatever.
So it's not just as trivial as it looks at first time.
