It does, and LyX already uses it.
I don't know how to get the output of the process.
Use runCommand() from support/filetools.cpp. The only drawback is that it
does not handle stderr.
Currently there are already three methods to lauch a child process in LyX:
- runCommand()
- The ForkedCall class
- The ISpell class
We should replace all this classes/functions with one class which could
be configured.
IMNSHO at least one (better two) of these methods should go, and adding a
forth one is definitely wrong. If you are really going to use QProcess then
it should replace at least one of these child launchers.
