[maemo-developers] printing logs (printf) when application starts from menu

[From: mpopat]

Dear community,

I wrote an application named "My_app"  that plays audio and also records 
voice from microphone. I usually use this application from command 
prompt. There are lots of printfs in it for debugging purpose which gets 
printed on terminal when the application is run. I just put the 
application in the start menu and it does not behave properly as it 
should. More particularly the recording from mic is problematic. I have 
no way of accessing the printf at present as the application is starting 
from
"Start Menu" -> "Extras" -> "My_app"

Is there any way that I can get this printf printed in some file when I 
start this application from the menu. It will be still much better if I 
can open another window and it keeps printing the printf even when I 
start "My_app" from the menu.

Thanx in advance.

regards,
