true. firefox was just the most simple example that we tried to get working. We integrate a lot more utilities, and those often need pipes. We better get the simple one working first before we try further. > If not, instead of g_spawn_*, just use one of the "normal" _spawn*() > family of functions in the Microsoft C library (declared in > <process.h>) with P_NOWAIT as the first parameter if you don't want to > wait for it to finish. Much simpler, and less chance that some bug or > misfeature in GLib is confusing you. is there any reason to believe that the glib functions are not working correctly?
