Title: No console output when using SDL template
Post by: TheChuckster on July 24, 2007, 01:54:48 am

Pardon me if this doesn't belong here, but I compile programs with Code::Blocks that use SDL. However, nothing shows up in the "DOS" console window when I try to output text via printf. I am running my programs in the IDE. The console does work, though, with console programs. Only with SDL programs am I unable to write to the console. When I compile SDL programs in Linux using GCC, outputting text to the console works perfectly.

A simple search would have given you the answer(s) (http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,4887.0.html)...

Thanks! I tried Google first, but I should have also thought of searching the forums. I'm sorry for bothering you -- I know the feeling since I get redundant DS Doom e-mails all the time from people who don't read the FAQ. >_<

No problem :).
It's just that you would have solved your problem earlier if you had searched ;)
