Geany will compile but not build or execute program
I have installed Geany on Linux Mint 12 (Lisa). For some reason I can't get the program to build or execute a program. I'm programming in C++. I know I can do it through the command line and I have been using the Kate editor up to this point, but I would like to have full functionality in Geany.
Independent Commands:
Make: make
Make Custom Target: make
Make Object: make %e.o
Execute Commands:
Execute: "./%e"
When I click build I don't get an error message however when I click execute the command screen pops up but nothing happens. The header on the command screen has the title: user: sh and the only thing appearing on screen is the '$' sign.
I'm using Linux as a virtual machine on Windows 7. I'm sharing a file "C++" on the C:/ drive with the virtual machine. On the Linux machine it is stored in root/media/sf_C++
