The following works (without the -wid bit, which I can't easily
replicate, but which you could easily add). Connect up the pipes,
of course, if you want them. "name space.mpg" is in the current
directory when the program is invoked.
#include <glib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int sample_spawn (void)
{
GError *error = NULL;
gchar *argv[6];
gint ok;
argv[0] = "/usr/bin/mplayer";
argv[1] = "/usr/bin/mplayer";
argv[2] = "-msglevel";
argv[3] = "all=9";
argv[4] = "name space.mpg";
argv[5] = NULL;
ok = g_spawn_async_with_pipes (NULL,
argv,
NULL,
0,
NULL,
NULL,
NULL,
NULL,
NULL,
NULL,
&error);
if (!ok) {
fprintf(stderr, "error: '%s'\n", error->message);
g_error_free(error);
}
return !ok;
}
int main (void)
{
sample_spawn();
return 0;
}
