Re: [Vala] howto invoke an external process
Well, there's an extern facility which allows you to call arbitrary c code. (Don't have the exact reference handy right this moment.) And from arbitrary c code you could do a system(...); (This may not be the most pleasant way to do it, and i'd also be interested in a cleaner solution, for example, a SubProcess class.) dan On Fri, Feb 17, 2012 at 9:43 AM, D.H.
