How do you get a console window open on the mac? I want to see the result of a printf statement in a vex sop.

/Applications/Utilities/Console.app

It's the general console viewer.

Do you know if it works? I can't get anything to appear in it using printf

Oh wait, it does work but only once you quit Houdini. How useful…

It does work correctly if you start Houdini from the console instead of using its icon. I believe it's a matter of STDOUT redirection.

Any update on how to do this in version 17 from mac? I open houdini from the terminal but don't see any output there.

To see if it is indeed sending to the terminal, I'd open an hscript terminal in Houdini, (Alt Shift t) and: “unix echo foo” and see if that appears in the terminal.
