Problem running programs in Qt Creator

I created the test program that is given on the CD and it ran perfectly.

Now when I create new projects and copy code from the textbook I always get a 'exited with code 0' message and I don't see the output of the program.

Here is an example:

Starting C:\unisa\cos2614\ezust\Exerc1411-build-desktop\debug\Exerc1411.exe...
C:\unisa\cos2614\ezust\Exerc1411-build-desktop\debug\Exerc1411.exe exited with code 0

When I try to compile it from command prompt I don't get any errors but I also don't see a screen.
I copied and pasted the code straight from the textbook and I made the necessary changes given in Tut 102 to the project so it will compile in the command prompt.

Has anybody else had problems?

It's not an error. It means that the program started, it did it's thing and then it finished. Nothing sinister at all.

If you're looking for output to a console, make sure that you've set the project to compile as a console, since they compile as GUI programs by default.

Check your project file and make sure that the qmake variable CONFIG has console added to it

eg

CONFIG += console

Thanks, I'm getting there. I'd forgotten to check Run in terminal.
But now when I run it from Qt Creator, I get a dos window opening but all it says is "Press <RETURN> to close this window" and when I run it from command prompt, it waits a couple of seconds and then I get the prompt again.
I'm trying to run exercise 1.4.1.1 where I should be prompted to supply input.

Tracy, I've got the same problem. Still trying to fix it.

Does anybody know what could be causing it?
