From: Dezso_Kovacs%OPELHUNGARY_SZG@opel.hu Subject: system() problem 12 Jan 1998 10:24:59 -0800 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII To: gnu-win32@cygnus.com Hello! I have installed the GNU-win32 b18 on NT 3.51 and compiled this code with gcc: #include int main (void) { int i; i = system ("dir"); return i; } When I run the program it prints "failure!!!!!" and returns -1. The system() did not work with any other arguments I tried except NULL when it returned 1 (and there was no failure message then). Is it a bug or did I do something wrong? Thank you, Dezso Kovacs d.kovacs@opel.hu - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
