[Solved] Linux, how to see WriteLn(???)

[BrunoK]

I managed (with lots of pain, tried manjaro and others, but they do not handle multiscreen well and lots of other troubles like manjaro refusing to install on the external ssd) to install linux mint on a usb connected ssd. linux mint looks ok.

In lazarus  for windows run the following program :

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. program pgmInstanceSize;
2.  
3. {$mode objfpc}{$H+}
4.  
5. uses
6.   {$IFDEF UNIX}
7.   cthreads,
8.   {$ENDIF}
9.   Classes
10.   { you can add units after this };
11.  
12. var
13.   vList: TList;
14. begin
15.   vList := TList.Create;
16.   writeLn(TList.InstanceSize, ' ', vList.InstanceSize);
17.   vList.Free;
18.   ReadLn;
19. end.      

and it displays

32 32

and wait for return.

In lazarus linux running this program doesn't show anything. What do I need to get the console to show the values and wait for return ?

Hi
Menu -> 'View' -> 'Debug Windows' -> 'Console In/Output'
...or run a terminal in another desktop (or besides lazarus)

Also try Menu -> Run -> Run Parameters and check "Use Launching Application".

Thanks, but what should I put in those parameters ?

Thanks, at least I can view the WriteLn'd values,

What about entering return on the ReadLn to terminate the program ?

Hi

What about entering return on the ReadLn to terminate the program ?

Click on the 'Console in/output' window and press [Enter]
Btw. 'ReadLn' is not necessary on *nix, the terminal stays open...

Ok, thank you, I did not expect the Console In/output not having the focus.

Yup, at first, that fact bit me on the ass constantly  ...Now I remember the click
