Hello, it seems that the spawn* functions of Gtk have not been ported to gtk2-perl. I have this problem where I need to launch an external process from a button's click callback. It's a TTS (text to speech) application that has play, pause and stop buttons. The actual speech is been done by a python script that I need to execute (don't ask..). The GUI in gtk-perl shouldn't block, so that I am able to e.g. press pause/stop while the voice speaks. I've tried a lot of ways but it always ends up to one of the following: - GUI gets blocked and I can't press pause/stop buttons - GUI doesn't block (usually when I'm forking from within the callback) but once the python script is done speaking, the gtk-perl GUI is closed as well. I read this is a problem of gtk and there are the spawn* functions to compensate for that.
How can I do this? _______________________________________________ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list
