Okay, so I have a Windows 7 (64) machine, and I downloaded and installed CodeLite. Although I use Visual Studio just fine, I was looking for an open source alternative for some instructional materials I am preparing.

Every time I run the program, I get a blank console window that pops up. There is never any output from the actual code in the window. I have an associate in another state who experiences the same problem and he's used it for a long time with no problems. If it's an introduced bug in an incremental build or something, that's a pretty big one.

Simple programs: the default Hello World program using printf, and also if I modify it to be more "C++" like (using cout, including iostream, etc.) - these appear to compile but do not output anything to the console.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I can't find any settings related to setting the standard output device, which you'd think would be set to the console, but I digress.

Thanks again!

UPDATE: To reproduce, I just try running the code. Build-->Run and then select "Build and Execute"

UPDATE 2: There is an error apparently in the Build, but it still runs the console. I suppose I need to install some sort of mingw tool? 

C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /C mingw32-make.exe -j 8 -e -f  Makefile
'mingw32-make.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
====0 errors, 0 warnings==== **

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout<<"Hello World!"<<endl;

    return 0;
}

    It seems you have a problem with your code. However, we can't help unless we have [code or information that can reproduce the problem](http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve). Otherwise, we are just blindly guessing. – Mr. Llama Jan 31 '16 at 01:08

    Thanks for the responses. I've been coding in C++ for over 15 years, and it's a "Hello World" program, so I'm quite confident that's not the problem. – Ginzorf Jan 31 '16 at 03:19

    the code could not be simpler, so it's not that "It seems you have a problem with your code". I have the same issue, just installed CodeLite, followed the "hello world" tutorial, and even wrote a program with compiler errors, always a 0 errors message and a blank console output. Windows choosing MSVC compiler as explained here http://codelite.org/LiteEditor/QuickStart – Pedro Vicente Sep 03 '18 at 00:54
  • @PedroVicente, I'm experiencing the same issue here, so how did you solve it? – StayFoolish Jan 30 '19 at 02:39
  • I solved it by not using CodeLite. LOL – Ginzorf Feb 01 '19 at 08:13

It's nothing but your compiler problem.

Remove your mingw compiler folder from C drive and download TDM GCC compiler for C++ and install the TDM GCC compiler in the same directory of codelite.

Link for downloading the compiler: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/
