Help!!!! I am tring to create a process from within a device
driver. I want the process to among other things be able to open
a con window and display output. As a base, I started with the
proctest example by Rob Peck on fish disk 5. I also made the few
changes changes discribed in his book. Then compilied it under Manx 5.0,
and executed the program to make sure the code worked. The subprocess runs, I
varified this by having it add 2 numbers and return the result. But
it won't printf, and won't fd=fopen("test","w"); Manx also doesn't
seem to like the line stdout = msg->outpointer; in the program
littleproc.c, so I removed it. This would explain why printf won't work,
but not why the file doesn't open. What gives?
On a second note.... Has anyone had trouble useing the include
files in manx 5.0 for the devices like timer and trackdisk. When I
compile a program with say #include <device/trackdisk.h> it tells me
their are errors in the include file. It points to lines like
#endif !EXECIO_H. To use the include file I had to change all such
lines to #endif /*!EXECIO_H*/, then it seemed to work. Why?
