Description Carl Glen Henshaw 2004-03-17 16:12:01 UTC

Version:           3.0.2 (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    FreeBSD Ports
Compiler:          gcc 3.3 
OS:          FreeBSD

Under FreeBSD, when executing a C or C++ console application (like the "Simple Hello world application"), the konsole in which the app is executing closes immediately instead of waiting for a keypress. This makes it impossible to see the program output.

Apparently this is because the shell script that executes after the app exits:

/bin/sh -c '<program>; echo "Press Enter to continue!";read

is valid bash syntax. But for Posix sh, read requires at least one argument, eg "read var".
Under Linux the code works because /bin/sh invokes bash; but on FreeBSD /bin/sh invokes, well, sh.

This bug makes me very unhappy. I almost bought Windows.
