F5 is failing to launch xterm

Post by Ants473 »

Hi all,

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, Codelite 3.5.5378 and pressing F5 builds my project but fails to launch it within xterm. On the other hand pressing CRTL+F5 runs the application but without compiling it first.

How do I fix the F5 function as it works correctly in Windows XP?

Hope I've just overlooked a setting somewhere.

Do you have xterm installed?

Run from the command line:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install xterm

It looks like it's opening a debugger terminal at the bottom amoung the tabs. How do I disable this and set it to use xterm?
