SOS! Can not debug (codelite 6, Mint Linux Quiana)

Hello,

when I try to run the debugger, I only get this message:

These settings always worked for me with codelite 5.x:

The log shows this:

Code: Select all

CodeLite version: 6.0.1-1.trusty

[ 13:27:59:243 DBG ] search_process_by_command is called
[ 13:27:59:256 DBG ] ZombieReaperPOSIX: process 9076 exited with status code 32512
[ 13:27:59:316 DBG ] search_process_by_command is called
The last line is repeated 100 times.

Thank you very much for your time and efforts in advance.
Ralf

Hi,

At a guess. sudo apt-get install xterm. (Or possibly gnome-terminal.)

Regards,

David

Like David suggested: you need to install xterm.
The Terminal settings does not work with the debugger

Thank you for your reply.

gnome-terminal is the standard terminal for cinnamon desktop (as far as I know) and it worked with codlite 5.x.
I will try xterm tomorrow.

Installing xterm did the job. Thank you.
(Installing gnome-terminal is not necessary because it is the standard cinnamon terminal, as I mentioned)

I switched from Mint Linux Maya (derived from ubuntu 12.04) to Mint Linux Quiana (derived from ubuntu 14.04) and from codelite 5.x to codelite 6.x. Perhaps I installed xterm "unintentionally" when I used Mint Linux Maya or it was part of the default installation or codelite behaved different - I don't know.

Yours sincerely

One of the changes that came along with codelite 6.0 - is to reduce the headache of detecting your "favorite" terminal emulator. and xterm is now required on all Linux distros
(its the lowest common denominator terminal ;)

You can configure xterm to look and behave like a modern terminal following these instructions:

It might be your apt settings. The CodeLite deb 'Recommends' xterm. From the Debian Policy Manual:
"The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations."

AFAIK this means it will normally be installed as a dependency; but a user can tell apt globally to ignore 'Recommends', which it can't do for 'Depends'.
