I am trying to run a simple C++ program on CLion. The problem is that when I try to compile and run it, it shows the result in the application console. I want to run on the System console like the Visual Studio runs the output of the console apps. Is there a way of doing this. I use MINGW compiler.

You can use an external terminal, do these steps.

  1. (top menu) run\ edit Configurations
  2. tick 'run in external console'

Well, if anyone is still around wanting to open an external cmd window on run, there is a way to do it on Windows as well:

  1. Go to Run > Edit Configurations
  2. For the executable select C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
  3. For program arguments use: /c "start cmd.exe @cmd /k "ProjectName.exe""
  4. For working directory set the cmake debug (or release) folder
  5. Save and select the profile from the dropdown right next to the run button

Note: In the third step /k can be replaced with /c to make the window close after the program is run (with /c its more like visual studio and with /k its more like code blocks)

the above answer works fine in windows also. In working directory you can set this $CMakeCurrentBuildDir$ enter image description here

I am not sure about Windows but in linux you can do it using this answer.

You might be able to change the gnome-terminal to cmd if you are using windows but you will probably need to change the "Program Arguments" too.
