Hi, I want to execute an external program using g_spawn_async_with_pipes. This program outputs ASCII to stdout, which I want to catch using g_child_watch_add. This works fine, but if the data exceeds a certain amount of data apparently the pipe gets 'full', causing the ext. program to wait with outputting. As a result the g_child_watch_add will not start reading the pipe.
So g_child_watch_add waits until the ext. program is finished and the ext. program waits until g_child_watch_add starts with reading from the pipe. How to deal with this? I tried to redirect the output to a file, and use g_spawn_async instead of g_spawn_async_with_pipes, but redirecting seems not to be accepted by g_spawn_async. (For this second method I tried flags G_SPAWN_FILE_AND_ARGV_ZERO and |G_SPAWN_STDOUT_TO_DEV_NULL, without success.) | Rob A. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and is believed to be clean _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
