It seems to work now. Please correct me but there is a difference, whether command is inserted in 'Execute commands' section or not of Build Settings.

Hi,

any ideas about my case? :)

Hi,

I was trying to run not GUI but console windows applications. Here are my steps:

1). Compilation. Build -> Set Build Commands: %HOMEPATH%\GITworks\diygeiger_mk161\Tools\mkl2mkp_en -i "%f"

It works - when I press F8, an empty (black) Win console appears, but I can see the output of mkl2mkp_en.exe in Geany Compiler output window.

1). Upload to device: %HOMEPATH%\GITworks\diygeiger_mk161\Tools\pmkcom-0.18.i386.win32.exe %d%e.mkp --p 3 -s 19200 -wp 0 6

Also works, with the same empty Win console.

3). Run compiled binary in a Win emulator: %HOMEPATH%\GITworks\diygeiger_mk161\Tools\vk6.exe -i %d%e.mkp

This is what I would like to be running not in an empty win console.

Br, Vitali

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.

Cheers, Matthew Brush
