Return code 255 error on Mac

[arober]

I apologize if this specific problem was addressed somewhere else in the forum. I searched and could not find anything similar enough to help me.

I just installed codelite v 3.5.5376 on a mac running OS X 10.7.3.

This is the code I tried running.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout<<"Hello World";
return ();
}

It returned this message in the output window

Current working directory: /Users/tonyroberts/Library/Application Support/codelite/Computer Science/Practice
Running program: /Users/tonyroberts/Downloads/CodeLite 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/OpenTerm 'cd "/Users/tonyroberts/Library/Application Support/codelite/Computer Science/Practice" && cd "./Release" && ./Practice '
Program exited with return code: 255

I tried going through workspace and retagging (full), it produced this in the output window

Current working directory: /Users/tonyroberts/Library/Application Support/codelite/Computer Science/Practice
Running program: /Users/tonyroberts/Downloads/CodeLite 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/OpenTerm 'cd "/Users/tonyroberts/Library/Application Support/codelite/Computer Science/Practice" && cd "./Release" && ./Practice '
Program exited with return code: -1


I have on a semesters worth of programming experience, and am unsure as how to correct this, any help is much appreciated.

Perhaps you code didn't produce the executable.

You "return ()" and main expects a int a return.

A setting you can activate is :
Project settings->Common settings ->general : pause when execution ends.

I created a new project and did not modify the following code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printf("hello world\n");
return 0;
}

The output window gave this error:

Current working directory: /Users/tonyroberts/Library/Application Support/codelite/Computer Science/Test
Running program: /Users/tonyroberts/Downloads/CodeLite 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/OpenTerm 'cd "/Users/tonyroberts/Library/Application Support/codelite/Computer Science/Test" && cd "./Release" && ./Test '
Program exited with return code: -1

Did you try running it from the command line?
What is your build output? Did it compile without any errors?
