Quick question, im trying to add this function to ioquake3:
*void Loadexternal ( char *emu, char *rom )*
*{*
* pid_t pid;*
* printf("%s %s \n", emu, rom);*
* if ((pid = fork()) == 0) {*
* char * const new_argv[] = { emu, rom, NULL };*
* *
* if (execv(new_argv[0], new_argv) < 0) {*
* perror("execv error");*
* exit(EXIT_FAILURE);*
* }*
* } else if (pid < 0) {*
* perror("fork error");*
* exit(EXIT_FAILURE);*
* }*
* *
* /* You really should use waitpid here so you know when the *
* * "emu" exits and you can startup the "frontend" again. */*
* if (waitpid(pid, NULL, 0) == -1) {*
* perror("waitpid error");*
* exit(EXIT_FAILURE);*
* }*
* *
* printf("Exited successfully\n");*
*}*
But the trick is, it needs to be somewhere out of the way of the vm's
because it gives me compiling errors because it includes system files
*#include <stdio.h>*
*#include <stdlib.h>*
*#include <unistd.h>*
*#include <sys/types.h>*
*#include <sys/wait.h>*
so it needs to be in the client code. The reason being is i need to call it
from the ui. I did this by putting it in cl_ui.c but it has to go from the
ui vm, through the syscalls, then to the client, and its hard to get
arguments to pass correctly doing this, is there a better way of doing
this? If more info is needed let me know, thank you in advance.
