I'm developping a very simple app on my Mac using QtCreator.
It's a console application and I want the user to enter its name, and then I display his name. Here is the code :
#include <iostream>
int main(int ArgC, char* ArgV[])
{
char Name[1000];
std::cout << "Type your name : ";
std::cin >> Name;
std::cout << "Hello " << Name << "\n";
return 0;
}
When running this app with QtCreator, the string "Type your name :" is displayed in the 'Application Output' tab. But if I type some text and press the enter key, nothing is happening.
What's wrong ?
Answer
I found a solution. With Qt Creator 1.3.0 (on Mac OS X), here is what I had to do :
- Project->Run settings, check "Run in Terminal" (thanks Ropez)
- Qt Creator->Preferences : Environnement : General : Terminal : I had to put the whole path to XTerm. For my config, I had to put
/usr/x11/bin/xterm -e.
Now, everything is working fine !
