Run exe file in C++ coding

sitha · #1 28-Feb-2007, 23:25

Hi Everybody,
I want to run a Fortran EXE file in C++ coding, following coding I wrote and compile with cygwin g++ compiler.......

CPP / C++ / C Code:

void runsystem (string)

int main()
{
string cmm;
cmm="universe.exe";
runsystem (cmm)
}

void runsystem(string cmm)
{
system(cmm.c_str());
}

When I compile it works fine without any trouble. But when I run it shows following error........

Code:

sh: universe.exe: command not found  // made correction in error

Please help me to solve this problem...............Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Sitha.

See that Edit button? It prevents you from having to double post.

The error means exactly what it says. universe.exe isn't in the same directory as your program's executable, thus it was not found. system() does exactly the same thing as typing a command into the shell.

in Unix change

Code:

bash>> universe.exe

To

Code:

./universe

In Unix to run your programs you use ./(program) instead of the windows universe.exe
