It is possible to set a specific size for the codeblock console (In C language) to open when I run the program?
I need it to open at a certain size because I won’t use the whole screen.
I saw there’s a way to do it in the library windows.h but I wanted to Ubuntu and I’m not finding.
NOTE: Codeblock is the editor I am using to program in C in Ubuntu

The command line codeblocks uses to activate the console can be changed in Settings -> Environment -> General Settings.
In linux the default is:
xterm -T $TITLE -e
You can change the xterm command line by changing the window size. Take a look at the -Geometry parameter in the xterm documentation.

The command gnome-terminal --geometry=20x20 -e ./meuprograma opens a 20x20 Gnome terminal window (measured in characters) already running the program meuprograma located in the current directory.
You can make a script file that runs this command (i.e., a .sh file with this command inside and marked as executable) and distribute it in the same folder as the binary. This will give the effect you want. As for Code::Blocks, I can’t tell what he does or how he does it, but that’s irrelevant because he’s just the IDE and has no relation to the final program.
In the problem in question the IDE is related since the console is opened by it to run the Debugger; I already used gnome-terminal with codeblocks but, for some strange reason, the operation became erratic which ends up generating headaches when debugging. With xterm, although gdb gives a terminal error at the beginning it works perfect.
I assumed that the AP didn’t want an application to be run inside an IDE every time because I don’t see the point in it.
Thanks, I’ll read about it and try to understand better how it works. ;)
