Thread: system();

im using lcc-win32 compiler
program runs under dos
this is my problem => i want to work with system();

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
	{
		int system();
		system(" ren C:\\lamb.txt lamb.lamb");
		return 0;
	}

now this thing works on my computer but if i send it to other ppl it wont work it will only work on the comp where it has been compiled =>is this because of the compiler or is system(); just like that ....

i use lcc i include the proper header file according to the help thing in lcc its stdlib.h it works perfect on my comp but not on another comp so ... i just wanna know how that comes

Well, does the "others" have the same file and in the same location on their pc?

What is the error message you are getting on the other machines? Paste it here.

*in the example i use ren of rename but i also did this with md (make directorie) and this works on my comp but not on another
then i thoughtmayb i must take a directory wich evry one has so i said ill make a map in c:\windows\desktop now this wont work as well so ... it has nothing to do with a certain file that doesnt exists or a directory who doesnt exist

*and about the error it appears that the application just shuts down and that it doesnt give an error
* someone also said why do u prototype system(); =>because if i dont lcc gives an error and then it wont compile
