    Question how do i run external programs from source?

    Hi!
    Could somebody tell me how i run or input a command in c++ telling the compiler to run a program in a special directory?

    for example, i want to tell my compiler to run in the directory /bin/ the program "myprog". How do refer a comman in the sourcecode running the program "/bin/myprog" ???
