I am not able to run any C/C++ programs in code::blocks. Could anyone please suggest why this is happening? Currently I have the gnu c and g++ compilers installed on the system. The error message on building and running this simple c code:
#include<stdio.h> int main(){ printf("55"); return 0; }
is:
Checking for existence: /home/user1/Desktop/progs/a Executing: xterm -T ‘/home/user1/Desktop/progs/a’ -e /usr/bin/cb_console_runner “/home/user1/Desktop/progs/a” (in /home/user1/Desktop/progs)
Process terminated with status 255 (0 minute(s), 6 second(s))

Answer
You have two options:
- Install
xterm
or
- In CodeBlocks, go to
Settings->Environment
, go toTerminal to launch console programs
, and select an appropriate terminal.
What’s currently happening is that CodeBlocks is attempting to run your program with xterm
, which isn’t installed on your machine.
