Hi. Which OS are you? because I think OSProcess is not working on Windows.
And I also think there are binaries for it, so you don't need to generate .c
from VMMaker neither compile c code to binary.
But I may be wrong.

CommandShell ?

Maybe using normal FFI or AlienFFI? They will let you invoke shared
libraries of the OS from Pharo.
