Shellexecute equivalent on MAC using CodeWarrior Pro 9

Asked by coderen in General Macintosh Programming

Tags: ,

Dear experts,

On the Windows platform I use the following instruction:
ShellExecute(NULL, "open","d:\\kubus\\tool\\win\\lp_xmlconverter.exe",
            "libpart2xml c:\\kubus\\test_2.gsm c:\\kubus\\test_3.xml",
            "d:\\kubus\\tool\\win", SW_HIDE);

I like to find the equivalent instruction for the MAC (C++)?
The program lp_xmlconverter converts a gsm file to the xml format. For windows this program is a dos program.
On the MAC I have the same tool that I can start from a terminal. The question is how to call this program in C++ with all the parameters?
The syntax in the terminal is almost the same as used on the windows platform
lp_xmlconverter libpart2xml <source> <destination>  

The Mac platform is completely new for me.
To use the ShellExcute instruction the header file shellapi.h must be included in the C++ program #include <shellapi.h>
Which header files must be included for the MAC?
I have tried to use popen, but my version of CodeWarrior Pro 9 does not support this instruction.
Further Í have tried to use the fork() and execlp instructions, but the header file to use fork() I can't find.

I have Codewarrior IDE version 5.5 Build 1292

Another issue is that I have no idea how to indicate the path on the MAC. A directory indicated on a Windows machine is like d:\kubus\tool\win on a MAC is this /kubus/tool/win or <hard drive name>:kubus:tool:win? Which notation should be used in the C++ code?

With kind Regards
