Creating an Executable in runtime

astropirit · 07-08-2009, 10:08 AM

Greetings all
How can i create an executable in run-time? (win32). i need a simple wrapper for different console commands. this is because i must have executable there is no way around it. so what i have come up with is passing the command that i want executed as a command line parameter and it will create an executable that will execute those commands upon execution. I know this is possible because i have seen it being used. How can i do this?
If any one could explain this to me or refer me to any kind of helpful documentation, it would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps some examples to illustrate the problem would help.

You mean you want to write a shell? (I.e., something like the dos box?)
