Hello Community,
is it possible to call an external console application from Geany in such a way that it will start a Windows console with fully functional input / output? I have assigned compiler and flash-tool in 'Set Build Command' settings, they start in a clean console, but it is Ok since I can see STDOUT in Geany window. But it is not Ok when I want to start an emulator.
Hi,
Can you please elaborate a bit more on what tools you are using specifically, what build commands you have set, what you are expecting and what you are getting, in a little more detail?
If I had to guess from your description, it sounds like you are trying to run a Windows GUI program (google for WinMain) which doesn't get any stdio streams to write to, rather than a console application that's hooked up to stdio streams. This is kind of a quirk of Windows where GUI apps can't (by default) output to stdout and stderr. Maybe your particular GUI tool has a command-line option to attach a console to it.
