Help code blocks not launching termial when program is executed [solved]

<< < (3/4) > >>

osdt:
Looks like the project path and executable name contains spaces. Remove them and it should work (if xterm is installed).

@devs: where do the backslashes come from? ...

--- Code: ---xterm -T my\ first\ c\ project ...

--- End code ---
should be ...

--- Code: ---xterm -T "my first c project" ...

--- End code ---
?

'\'  is the escape character i.e. to insert a space afaik.

Indeed, it works to guard spaces ...

--- Code: ---mkdir "/tmp/aaa bbb"
echo "#/bin/sh\necho Hello World" > "/tmp/aaa bbb/hello world.sh"
chmod +x "/tmp/aaa bbb/hello world.sh"

xterm -T /tmp/aaa\ bbb -e /usr/bin/cb_console_runner /tmp/aaa\ bbb/hello\ world.sh
Process returned 0 (0x0)   execution time : 0.009 s
Press ENTER to continue.

xterm -T "/tmp/aaa bbb" -e /usr/bin/cb_console_runner "/tmp/aaa bbb/hello world.sh"
Process returned 0 (0x0)   execution time : 0.009 s
Press ENTER to continue.

--- End code ---
Funny, I've never seen it to be used like this :D

No I don't have one. I tried all the options in the environment setting but code blocks does not detect terminal. My system is arch Linux with XFCE installed so I can launch terminal from main menu . What is the difference to have xterm?. How do I install it ?

king601:
Update: I was able to xterm from arch repositories and now code blocks works  ;D thank you guys for your help

Update 2: I am now able to run the program in xfce terminal by doing this code :

xfce4-terminal -T $TITLE -x , many thanks
