debugging an ncurses program

Post by jazztickets »

Is there a way to make codelite use the external terminal program, even while debugging? When i start a debug (F5), it throws output into a built-in output window. What i need is to have it put all that crap into an external terminal program (Like what CTRL-F5 does)

Otherwise ncurse's initscr() fails, and you can't debug ncurse programs.

Older versions of Codelite used to do that. At some point Eran brought it into the wx-dockable windows. I miss the old way too, or at least an option.

Thats the problem with forum posts, they tend to get lost (at least I don't know how I missed it, I usually reply to all posts on the forum)

Like Rick mentioned, there is no way to use external terminal for debugging. Please submit a feature request to make it configurable
