For whatever reason, std::cout does not display anything with my application. The description of my development environment follows.

I am working on a Qt application using Qt Creator. Since Qt Creator can’t be launched from my station (XP64), i am currently developping it with Visual Studio 2008 and the Qt plugin (by importing the .pro project file). Everything seems fine and the application works.

In some cases (depending on command line arguments), i don’t want to launch the HIM, just to display a few sentences in the CLI (command line required arguments, for instance).

I don’t get any error, but nothing is displayed.
The corresponding code, which i am sure is run is the (classical) following :

std::cout << "is this going to be displayed ?" << std::endl;

Do you have any idea why nothing is displayed ?

    Ok, answer found. Simple answer, of course, as always when encountering such problems. Michael Aaron was on the right tracks.

    Simply changing SubSystem to Console in project configuration (/Configuration properties/Linker/System) makes the whole thing work. The GUI still works, but with a background console. I can deal with that.
