Console Not Displaying Messages

Post by Narfii »

Hi, I'm new to programming, and this is my first compiler I'm using.

I installed Codelite as normal following the install instructions, I then proceeded as follows;
1. Built a new workspace in the default directory.
2. Created a new program in the workspace, using the Mingw gcc template in the default path and then selecting the MinGW(Codelite-4.8.1) compiler.
3. The helloworld program will load and build and run, however it is not displaying the "hello world" message in the console, it is just giving me a blank screen with the "press any key to continue" message, after which it closes.

I'm extremely confused and any help would be appreciated.

I'm on Windows 7 by the way.
