Output tab in codelite--what should appear there?

Post by systemdlete »

I notice that codelite (v16.0.0 on Devuan Chimaera) has several tabs on the lower left that display various information, such as output from build. But what is the tab labeled "output" for exactly? I never see anything printed there, so I was wondering if I might have my codelite environment misconfigured (quite possible; I am new with codelite, but not with debugging generally).

Usually, output ends up in a window (an xterm) that pops up from codelite.

Hi,

It will show miscellaneous, usually unimportant, output. For example, running a program gave the following output:

I never see any remarks in that output tab. I do see some noise in the debug output tab, though.

Are those messages you show in the output view's output tab coming from, say, a Makefile, or something else?

Something else. As you can see, it's when I run ('Run active project') the program.

The information isn't exactly riveting, though...in fact I've never bothered to look there before.
