How can I change terminal for console programs?

(1/1)

Fulcrum:
Hi!
I am using Code::Blocks on Windows XP, I have written simple program and tried to compile it. During the compiling there have been no errors but in result i have got just black screen without any way to terminate it except "killing" the process. After some googling i discovered that it could be caused by wrong choosing of terminal console. I guessed I should change it from "xterm" to some other like "gnome-terminal" maybe. But then I faced with a problem: changing terminal form is unactive (how it looks you can see on attachment picture). Is it OK and do I have any other way to choose another terminal?

Jenna:
The deactivated textcontrols are not used on windows, they are linux-only.

If your program has an error, that leads to an infinite loop, it would behave like you describe.

Fulcrum:
I am pretty sure that problem is not in my code. Because even this simple program does not execute:

#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
    printf ("Hello world!");
}

Note: Before doing the following you need to verify your compiled program is NOT already running on your computer.
I suggest turning on Full Compiler logging and then doing a full rebuild of the CB project.
