Need Help with Code blocks

May 21, 2011 at 2:15pm
I will admit I'm a beginner so please go easy on me...

I've installed C::B (10.50), I'm using win 7 and I've written a few programs that don't produce any warnings or errors and they seem to run fine with the output I expect...The problem...

When I run my programs, they run fine but I get a message the application is shutting down for an unknown reason and then at the bottom of the message window, I get a big red flag Status 255 Error.

I've read what I can find on the net and on here, and the general solution is to make sure xterm is installed...This is a really dumb question...but I don't know exactly how to install it...How do I execute the install? is it a self extracting program? Is it contained within C::B program files ? When I installed C::B, I asked for a complete install (i.e. everything)..so I assume I have it if it's included..so frustrating..

In the General Settings --> Environment of C::B it looks to me like it's installed..

Shell to run commands ---> /bin/sh-c
Terminal for Launch ---> xterm-T$Title-e

Both of these are "greyed out" so it must be default

I just need someone to walk me thru..

1) Where to get it
2) How to run it

Thank you

xterm is not a Windows application, so you don't have to worry about that.
It sounds like your program is crashing, so you should run it with the debugger (Debug/Start) to find the problem.
