is there cross platform library to call/create process in c++ [closed]

Question

Is there any cross platform library to create process's (using createProcess win32 api in windows for example). for linux/windows/mac?

Answer 1

1. Boost.Process will do that
2. as will PoCo (Processes namespace, in Foundation)

None of these are intrusive libraries, and none of these imply UI frameworks. Both will support static linkage without major size overhead.

Answer 2

You could use Qt which implements many OS utilities in a platform-independent way, eg. processes, threads, networking, GUI of course,....

Answer 3

Have a look at https://github.com/eidheim/tiny-process-library, a modern C++(11) platform independent process library without external dependencies.

Answer 4

I was able to run notepad using: std::system("notepad.exe"); I beleive in linux it also should work.
