CLion cout opens command prompt window instead of using CLion's terminal

When I do cout << "test" in CLion and then build it instead of writing it to IDE's terminal like IntelliJ, PHPStorm or any other of the Idea IDEs it opens a new command prompt window, writes it to that and them immediately closes the command prompt window so I can't see what was written.

Is there anyway to make things like cout write to CLion's debugger instead of opening a command prompt window?

Solution

  • Fixed it.

    CLion can't properly handle missing DLL files and although I had a lib inside my MinGW lib folder, windows wasn't finding it and thus the application was erroring.

    I moved the DLL to my windows folder and now it works fine.
