Incidentally, can you tell me why U++ is not well matched for POSIX console apps development, and can you recommend something better?
Thanks.

It all about the console (xterm) - at the moment, TheIDE cannot launch the console application and application in it. Frankly, I am not sure whether this is even possible. (Any information about this situation is highly appreciated!).

You can redirect stdout to TheIDE's console and see the output.

Alternative is to set output mode to produce binary in e.g. your home directory and than start it from the xterm.

Anyway, original claim was somewhat misleading. U++ library is perfectly OK for console app, it is this stupid small problem of consile which makes it somewhat inferior.

Note: If you have the output redirected, another problem is that in ide, bottom pane is shared between debugger and output console. So if you are at breakpoint, you have to click console tab to see the output.
