Console input with Qt Creator

qt, qt-creator

Solution

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 !

Problem

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 ?
