<![CDATA[I cannot see anything con console - ubuntu pangolin [12.04]]]>Hi all.
I am studying C++ and I have chosen QtCreator to make my practices ... The problem is that I am going to do console applications until I learn more about create and manage classes in C++.

I installed QtCreator 2.4.1 on my linux ubuntu 12.04 LTS and have chosen the option that appears in menu "File-> New Project or File-> Other proyects-> Plain C++ Project" and this creates an application "HelloWorld".

But when the application starts the console does not display anything. Is there something I must configure?

What is the terminal program? What are the settings under Tools Options? What, if anything, is showing in the "Application Output" pane inside the Qt Creator?

Edit: I see you fixed it an edited your post while I was writing :)

  • I saw the terminal but the terminal did not show anything.

  • (run in terminal is checked)

  • But in Environment->General the terminal was set up at "x-terminal-emulator -e". I replace it for xterm -e and It works fine. Thanks!

That template creates a project for program that outputs text. That project should have been configured to open a separate terminal. Do you see a separate terminal? If so, the output should be there:
@
Hello World!
Press <RETURN> to close this window... @

If you got no terminal at all then check:

  • Project (Ctrl-5), Run Settings, Run in terminal is checked
  • Tools menu, Options..., Environment page, General tab, Terminal command. Defaults to "xterm -e". Is xterm installed? You can use other terminals but I have yet to make KDE konsole work. I cannot vouch for Gnome-ish terminals.
