[SOLVED] Cannot run SFML program in CodeBlocks

[the_composer]

I've compiled SFML 2 from source and created and configured a CodeBlocks project as per the tutorials. Everything builds fine, but when I run the program, it immediately terminates. However, if I compile and link the program via command line with g++, the result program runs fine. Any ideas?

System details:
Linux Mint 14 x86
g++ 4.7.2
CodeBlocks 12.11
Latest SFML 2 snapshot as of today (3/27)

Run it through GDB (debugger) and see what happens.

Well I'll be damned. It works, but launching the console was causing an error "Can't launch console (xterm -T 'Program Console' -e sleep 80002439". I know I can disable the console in project settings, but I was hoping to use it for logging and debugging. Is there a way to launch both the game window and the console?

I'm not currently on a machine with Linux, but if I remember correctly, the command Code::Blocks should use to launch a console should be:

xterm -T $TITLE -e

Try replacing it with that.
Personally, I don't like xterm very much, so I use the gnome terminal, a bit of Googling let me know that you can use:

gnome-terminal --disable-factory -t $TITLE -x

Hope I helped!

EDIT: in case you don't know where to edit the console launch command, it's in Settings -> Environment

That did the trick! Thanks so much, both of you.
