Hello, I have an intresting problem: I want to let users upload sourcecode and then compile it using my cygwin gcc... But one thing at a time... I can't get that gcc to execute... shell_exec("gcc temp.c"); # Doesn't work as that will use MinGW shell_exec("D:\\cygwin\\bin\\gcc.exe temp.c"); /* Gives some error about dll stuff (procedure not found I think)*/ So my next though was to open "bash.exe --login -I" and fwrite the commands... But that still tries to use the mingw compiler it seems...Guess there's some environiment problem... So I figured I could use virtual() to a cgi script with this as first line: #!D:/cygwin/bin/perl and then use the perl open(), with |/cygdrive/d/bin/gcc.exe temp.c as argument... Seems like it executes the right compiler then, but then I get millions of errors caused by *.h can't be opened (yes, the source tries to include them), so I though about passing -B /usr/include to it... But those errors still appear... Also, it feels somewhat bad to use virtual() to call perl scripts, so I was wondering if you ppl have some nice idea on how I would do it? Paths: Cygwin: d:\cygwin PHP: C:\PHP (4.3.3, zip from php.net, installed as Apache 1.3.28 module) Apache: D:\Apache (installed using .msi package, as service) Perl: D:\perl\bin\perl.exe (or D:\cygwin\bin\perl.exe) Script: D:\www2\compile.php, D:\www2\compiling\compile_cyg.cgi Sourcecode: D:\www2\compiling\temp.c (yes, only one file yet, that's a later problem) pwd returns I'm in the 'compiling' folder, in the php script, I chdir() to get into that folder... Can anyone help, please? Security is not a concern, it's private, and it's for learning purposes mostly... I use winXP home... I can install stuff like I want, that's not a problem...
