I'm trying to make this work on linux but i'm stumbled it ain't working... I want to run UPX 2.0 for lin with this proggie but it returns 6222 -> i bet this is an error in upx. I am correctly calling the app. Why doesn't it work?
Code: Select all
power.s = "9"
upx.s = "/root/upx"
file.s = "/root/testexe"
Debug RunProgram(upx,"-"+power.s+" "+Chr(34)+file+Chr(34),"",#PB_RunProgram_Wait)

Hi,
I think, you're not root, trying to run a programm in /root/...
I know, you're runnung ubuntu.... are you sure, you have the appropriate rights for this folder
May you'd installed it as root but now trying to run it as normal user...

Yes, I am root, but I don't have ubuntu installed. I use Mandriva2006. I think there's something wrong with the RunProgram() procedure :roll: . The files are there, but it still doesn't run correctly

Hmm.. you're right.. I don't have upx installed an get a debug message of 12389 (which should be only >0 if the command succeeds... :roll: )
It's must be a bug in RunProgram().. type what ever you want as programm to start (i.e: jkdjshfgjksdgfj) Runprogram()
never fails
...
Giving a path to a prog that exsists on my PC, all went well...

Doesn't exist for linux a command like ShellExecute() for windows? There should be one there too :roll: . Hope whis will be fixed in the next version of PB...

You can use System_() instead of RunProgram()
...and do NOT work as root! This is not healthy!

Thanks WishMaster! BTW, I ran only this as root to test it, I usually use my normal account.
