Problem with debugger terminal

Post by AndrzejB »

This is my first use of CodeLite; previously I used Code::Blocks.
I crated console program and I can't run debugger. I try change terminal - edit control of terminal is strange, I can't move cursor, backspace not works and not see mouse pointer (may be it only with Linux under VirtualBox?) I paste name gnome-terminal from Code:Blocks but it also not works, maybe because it is without path.

My OS is Linux Mint 17.2 "Rafaela" - Cinnamon (64-bit) inside Version 5.0.10 r104061 on Windows 8.1 64bit.
My CodeLite version is 9.0.5, installed from .deb.
Reproduce:

New workspace C++ : test.workspace
new project, not necessary console, can be first wxWidgets GUI Application.: test.project
GCC Compiler and GNU Gdb debugger
Press green Arrow - it show warning: Could not launch terminal fro debugger
Settngs->Preferences->Terminal is gnome-terminal '$(TITLE)' '$(CMD)'
I click on Settngs->Preferences->Terminal edit control
Press backspace - not deleted letters, problems with moving with arrows and mouse pointer hiding

When debugging, CodeLIte only supports xterm.
Please run:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install xterm
Also, xterm can be configured to behave like a modern terminal:

No.

Project Settings->General->This program is a GUI application
