How to execute a c programme in UNIX using SKILL

AmitBiswas
AmitBiswas over 11 years ago
I have a c programme like below 
 
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{char ch1;
printf("Enter name : \n");
scanf("%c",&ch1);
printf("The name is %c \n",ch1);
}
 
I would like to execute from SKILL environment.
 
I tried
sytem("cc /afs/apd.pok.ibm.com/func/vlsi/eclipz/13s/usr/amitbisw/skill/test.c")   in CIW 
then
system("./a.out")  in CIW
 
 I expect the code to wait for the user input, but the output of the programme is like printing the both the printf statement in the programme and it is coming out of the programme and going into the Shell prompt.
 
 
What should I do to give the charecter from standerd input ?

    Use ipcBeginProcess to launch an external program which you want to send input to or read the results from. You may need to add calls to fflush() in your C code to ensure that the buffers are flushed.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
