ConsoleWindow won't stay open with F5

Post by tomizzo11 »

So I'm new to C++ and CodeLite. When I run a program by pressing F5, the console window won't stay open. It closes immediately. However, when I manually click on "Run" under the build tab, it seems to work fine. This seems odd to me...

F5 starts the debugger, so if you want it to stay open just place a break point somewhere...
Ctrl-F5 runs the program without the debugger

Thanks so much. I must have misread something.
