No console output in Mac OSX using Qt4

Hi!

I'm working with a GLC Viewer application (GLC Viewer is based on Qt4, you can read more about it here: http://glc-lib.sourceforge.net/). When I try to do couts, nothing is showing in the terminal. I wrote a small test application which I compiled using qmake, but it didn't work. I modified the inital pro file with an extra line CONFIG += console and then recompiled, but it still didn't work. This is the code:

test.cpp

Qt Code:

Switch view

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sstream>
 
int main(int, const char**) {
	std::cout << "Hi!" << std::endl;
	return 0;
}

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sstream>

int main(int, const char**) {
	std::cout << "Hi!" << std::endl;
	return 0;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

test.pro (edited, with the config line added)

Qt Code:

Switch view

TEMPLATE = 
TARGET += 
DEPENDPATH += .
INCLUDEPATH += .
CONFIG += console
 
# Input
SOURCES += test.cpp

TEMPLATE = 
TARGET += 
DEPENDPATH += .
INCLUDEPATH += .
CONFIG += console

# Input
SOURCES += test.cpp

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

What's going on? Cout works on my computer in common C++ applications, so why doesn't it work in Qt applications?

I'll be very grateful for any help.
