c++ - Is there any way to use cout for debugging while running an ncurses program in another window? -

i'm playing around simple ncurses program move sprites around screen. of backend logic in c++. apparently xcode won't ncurses @ all, need other way debug program. don't know c or unix - there way have program spawn terminal window, run alongside window ncurses running? i'd able use cout in window monitor state of program.

use gdb , "attach" command attach running process.
