Add Parent Folder Environment Path

[AmirHammoutene]

Hello,
My program is constructed so there is 2 (and more) .exe :

• One for the "menu", the one to be launch at start
• One (and more) for the different app we want to use

I'm wondering how to set the root folder as an environment path for the second .exe which will be placed in /apps folder from root so I don't have to duplicate the many .dll needed for the two (and more) .exe to work.

To illustrate, I run the "tree" command from cmp
Now I have that (and it works)

³   CreateCharacterSheet.exe
³   CreateCharacterSheet_fr.qm
³   icudt53.dll
³   icuin53.dll
³   icuuc53.dll
³   libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
³   libstdc++-6.dll
³   libwinpthread-1.dll
³   Qt5Core.dll
³   Qt5Gui.dll
³   Qt5Widgets.dll
³   Qt5Xml.dll
³   RPGUniversalCharacterSheet.exe
³   RPGUniversalCharacterSheet_fr.qm
³   
ÀÄÄÄplatforms
        qminimal.dll
        qoffscreen.dll
        qwindows.dll

and I want that (but launching CreateCharacterSheet.exe won't work due to missed .dll):

³   icudt53.dll
³   icuin53.dll
³   icuuc53.dll
³   libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
³   libstdc++-6.dll
³   libwinpthread-1.dll
³   Qt5Core.dll
³   Qt5Gui.dll
³   Qt5Widgets.dll
³   Qt5Xml.dll
³   RPGUniversalCharacterSheet.exe
³   RPGUniversalCharacterSheet_fr.qm
³   
ÃÄÄÄapps
³       CreateCharacterSheet.exe
³       CreateCharacterSheet_fr.qm     
ÀÄÄÄplatforms
        qminimal.dll
        qoffscreen.dll
        qwindows.dll

Thank you for your response

Hi,

If you are using QProcess you can use QProcess:: setProcessEnvironment

[AmirHammoutene]

thank you,
for information, i've done that :

        QProcess newProcess;
        QProcessEnvironment env = QProcessEnvironment::systemEnvironment();
        env.insert("THIS_FOLDER", ".");
        newProcess.setProcessEnvironment(env);
        newProcess.startDetached(programPath);

EDIT : the _qm (linguist) for the subexe needs to be placed in the root folder, unless you replace:

    QString locale = QLocale::system().name().section('_', 0, 0);// get system language
    QTranslator translator;
    translator.load(QString("CreateCharacterSheet_") + locale);
    a.installTranslator(&translator);

by

    QString locale = QLocale::system().name().section('_', 0, 0);// get system language
    QTranslator translator;
    translator.load(QString("apps/CreateCharacterSheet_") + locale);
    a.installTranslator(&translator);

solved
