Apologies, I was referring to the traditional FFI and forgot about the change to Alien. I'm sure it can be done similarly, perhaps someone else can give an example. Otherwise perhaps ProcessWrapper as Bill Schwab suggested. Dave On Sat, Jan 09, 2010 at 02:48:37PM -0300, Carlos Crosetti wrote:
Thanks, please can you provide pointers on how to launch a external process with Alien?

Yes, OSProcess is designed to work on Windows also. However, the functionality is limited on Windows and the plugin is not distributed with the Windows VM, so for most people this is not a practical solution. FFI is another alternative.

Carlos,
OSProcess appears to be _designed_ to run on Windows (lots of code for same), but I am not aware that it works there. The existing gnuplot package uses OSProcess on Linux/Mac and ProcessWrapper on Windows, and I have done the same thing when I need to run on Windows.
I have seen no evidence that ProcessWrapper works other than on Windows; if you find that it does, please make noise about that. I *think* I like it better than OSProcess, but I do a lot more relevant work on Linux where I can't use ProcessWrapper.

Hi, is rhe OSProcess designed to call out an external program from a Windows vm?
