Hi there!
I'm new to C and codeblocks, but i find codeblocks excellent!
I've s "simple" question.... my program needs to be run/debugged as root, but i'm developing as a normal user; is there a way to run/debug as root inside codeblocks? (something like "when run/debug" ask for root password and proceed).

Many thanks!
Great job!

Just change the terminal/shell to a root/admin one in the environment options of CB. Its in the general options section.

Ok, found the 2 entryes:

Shell to run commands in:                        /bin/sh -c
Terminal to launch console programs:     xterm -T %TITLE -e

How should i change those entryes?

(I'm a newbie,sorry for the stupid question!)

Afaik there is no option included in C::B.

You can try to start C::B from a console window with "sudo codeblocks" .

maybe you should use a chroot/fakeroot/scratchbox approach...
