[Qt-interest] startDetached not working for standalone prog

[Jason H]

My knee-jerk reaction is to say getOctavePath() is not working the same. Are your relying on an environment variable and not set it?

You always compile it. Here's what to try:
Run in creator (Debug) I assume this works?
Run in creator (Release) I assume this works?
Run outside creator (Debug) I assume this fails?
Run outside creator (Release) I assume this fails?

QProcess*process=newQProcess();
/*Mydadwantsthistostartdetached,sothatmanycanbeopenatthe
*sametime.
*/
process->startDetached(m_system->getOctavePath(),QStringList()<<fileName);


With this code It  sort of works the way the doc states. 
   
   When I run it from Qtcreator It starts a new window with octave running in the window, and I can start many more of these which is what I want.
   When I close my C++ program then all these separate windows close.
 
  When I compile to an executable and run it, the new window gets started but then immediately closes. Not what I want!!!

Why the difference between running from the IDE and running from a compiled executable??
