How to add and throw a binary inside a project?
-
Hello!
I'm not sure that is possible, but imagine that the main application calls a binary by QProcess sometimes.
In my project, I have a very small binary that must be run each 1 minute more or less. I would like to know if it is possibly embedded the binary inside the project using a qrc file to map that file and throw it using qrc address inside C++ code.Is it possible? A crazy thing?
Thanks!

Yes

No
You can embed your binary within your Qt application executable, then you save that binary into a temporary file and run that temporary file with QProcess on the desired interval with QTimer...

Would that trigger an antivirus/malware program?

Hi,
Install both executables in a know folder structure and call the second from the first one as you are already doing.
