Short summary and practical fix for the C‑Free under Wine problem: Windows IDEs often run a program by attaching or creating a Windows console. Wine does not always surface that console the way a native Windows install does, so a GUI IDE running under Wine can appear to “run” a build but show no terminal output. For console programs Wine provides a console manager, and launching the program through it (or running the EXE from a real terminal) makes stdout/stderr visible. (manpages.debian.org)

Quick, actionable options to try (pick one that fits how you work):

# run from a Linux terminal so any stdout/stderr appears there
wine /path/to/yourProgram.exe

# use Wine's console manager (opens a proper console window)
wineconsole --backend=user /path/to/yourProgram.exe

# capture output to a file and inspect it
wine /path/to/yourProgram.exe > program-output.txt 2>&1

If you want C‑Free itself to show the output, change the IDE's “run” command so it launches the compiled EXE via wineconsole (or via wine cmd /c ...) instead of calling the program directly. That forces the console to appear and is often the simplest fix for IDEs running under Wine. (manpages.ubuntu.com)

If those still fail, do a quick diagnostic: run the built EXE manually from a terminal (above). If manual runs show output, the IDE run action is misconfigured or pointing at the wrong target (the IDE might be launching an intermediate file, not the linked executable). For deeper debugging, enable Wine logging (WINEDEBUG) and redirect it to a file so you can inspect what Wine is doing — start with a small set of channels and avoid +relay unless you need it (logs can be huge). (codeweavers.com)

Notes: if you decide to switch to native Linux tooling (GCC/GDB and a Linux C/C++ IDE) the build/run/terminal behavior is usually more predictable; that path was already suggested by , and in the thread.

Why don't use just use g++/gcc with a text editor... Or something like eclipse.

Member Avatar for baby_c

yeah! i gonna try eclipse.thanx for the tip..

Member Avatar for baby_c

I have install eclipse.but it seems like a java editor not C. so i'm going to try CodeLite.However thanks a lot guys.

Hello download CodeLite and use it, it is specifically designed for C/C++ with focus only on that. As per your problem, where did you put project files?
try this:
create folder under Home that is
cd and press return key
then cd Documents/
mkdir Projects
cd Projects/
mkdir CandC++
then when creating new workspace in codelite, create it under /home/your_name/Projects/CandC++/workspace_name

Voila!

Member Avatar for Stefano Mtangoo

or Just chmod the projects directory to 777
that is:
sudo chmod 777 folderName/

Member Avatar for baby_c

i chmod the directory to 777 but problem still not solved.what can i do??

thanks for the advice..codelite works perfectly... thanks friend.

Eclipse is not only made for Java Development...

It is having completely separate package for development under C/C++ environment.
It is called CDT (C/C++ Development Toolkit).

Download the latest version of Eclipse for C/C++ developers.

Anywaz, tommorrow is the release for the new version Helios;) (u will get CDT 7.0).
Give it a try....

Cheers,

Sure, Eclipse is made modular but CL was designed specifically for C/C++ so it outperforms and eclipse. Plus CodeLite is coded in C/C++ and Eclipse in Java ;)

thanks guys..

Or you could use code blocks.

Personally, why have an IDE for c++/c.

This is linux, why aren't you using vi with g++ from the command line!

For small projects I agree. But for Big project, it becomes tedious. For example with CL you have completion, refactoring, automatic add include, code beautification, SVNing, GUI and many others...So then it boils down to personal convenience

yeah!i'm using command line.but i needed gui.because i used to use cfree when i'm using windows.now i'm totally ubuntu.Still learning(With u guys help).

Member Avatar for Stefano Mtangoo

With CodeLite you do it in Ubuntu and Windows and Mac.
and you can export makefiles for your project. Iam not PR for CL though ;)

Being developed in Java, its having a lot of benefits too...
It is built as a plugin architecture which enables u to seamlessly add(and remove) various third party plugins (other than Eclipse own releases), thereby making it a single IDE with all ur required features.

I personally used it for embedded software development (in C) and used so many extra features like debugging tools (specific to Linux) which made it an excellent and complete package for software development.
