CodeLite IDE

Hi, I have a problem with CodeLite in Kubuntu, and any other KDE based distribution, I've tried with XFCE also. (Not Gnome, because I don't like it), the "problem" is... it seems that CodeLite hates Konsole.

It works well with xterm, but... I just hate that damn ugly terminal (oh my lord, I just want to burn it if I could ). I know it's an subjective aesthetic issue, but I really hate xterm, so I've decided to replace xterm with Konsole.

The problem is that CodeLite never (and I mean NEVER), executes Konsole, it always (no matter how I set up the command) executes the xterm.

I'm working with CodeLite 7.0 from the CodeLite's repository, with Kubuntu 15.04 and the IDE configured as follows:

Settings -> Global Editor Preferences -> Terminal -> Command used by CodeLite for launching: /usr/bin/konsole -e '$(CMD)'

Now I don't know what to do. In Windows 7, CodeLite works just as expected. But here, I'm about to change it for Code::Blocks due I can't use Konsole (I know it's a bad argument but honestly I just hate xterm, and I know I'm not the only one).

I've only installed it for CodeLite because I don't really use that terminal.

Any help here would be appreciated.

Thanks.

P.D.: I'm working with C/C++ code right now and the gcc version is 4.9.2.

Hi,

I know just what you mean: xterm is a long way down my favourite -terminal list too. I also tried unsuccessfully to get konsole to cooperate.

In the end I spent too much time customising xterm, which makes it just about useful; you can see how on this wiki page (I suggest you use the 'history' to see the November 25th version, before the vandalism caused by later edits ).

If that's still not enough for you, iirc gnome-terminal did work OK.

Regards,

Yes, same problems here. Installed from source a new version 8.0, same "lovely" xterm. Can't change to either CodeLite internal terminal emulator, nor to any other working terminal/konsole. CodeLite seems to be attractive for some features and fast, but, due to this problem with konsole, I am back to eclipse.
