Linux + Hconsole + Cout?

[hoknamahn]

I wonder how to show the Houdini's console in Linux. My custom SOP outputs info with cout or printf. Under Windows it works fine, but in Linux I don't see the Houdini's console. Actually, I don't see console when VEX outputs info too.

I met a similar question in a forum once, but I can't find it now. So how to solve this problem?

it should just echo back to the shell that you started houdini from.

If you've closed this shell it won't echo anywhere.

You may also want to try adding the line

UT_Console::initConsole();

somewhere at the begining of your cook method.

As well as including the header of course

#include <UT/UT_Console.h>

Oh, I forgot that cout and printf just outputs into sdout

Thanks, guys

By the way why console doesn't work for the VEX output?

Do you mean for a shader? You can get it to print out to a file using render verbose option and specifying a file.

Yes, for a shader or for other VEX stuff like custom COPs. What to do if I want to see output messages in SHOPs preview or in COPs?
