Where is process.h?

[clendon.gibson@canrig.com]

Hi folks,

I am hoping this is a pretty silly question.

Where is process.h? I am porting a c shared object that was originally intended for Linux to Windows and specifically the LabWindows/CVI 2009 compiler. The code includes conditional defines for windows and in one of these sections there is an #include <process.h>.

Some fast googling and I see that other LabWindows/CVI developers use this in their code, but when I try to compile the compiler can't find this header. Windows search can't find it either, so no surprise there.

Where do you get it? Are you borrowing it from a Microsoft compiler?

Hi Clendon

'process.h' is a component of C compilers that target DOS, Windows 3.1x, Win32, OS/2 or  Novell NetWare - it contains function declarations and macros used in working with threads and processes. It's not a part of ANSI C so it will depend on which C compiler you're using to compile your code, if you're using GCC then I definitley wouldn't expect to find it included.

It's installed on my system within my Visual Studio headers folder. Here's a list of compilers which provide access to the file (Which I've taken from Wikipedia):

• DJGPP
  
• OpenWatcom
  
• Digital Mars
  
• MinGW
  
• Microsoft Visual C++
  
• Borland Turbo C, 2.0 and later
  
• Lcc32
  
• QNX Neutrino QCC 6.x
  

Thanks
