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,
