Thread: Fork() not working.

I'm trying to get fork() working but I keep getting the error message fork undefined. I've copied and pasted this code straight from the FAQ section. I'm using Bloodshed C++. Ideas?

Code:

#include <stdio.h> 
#include <stdlib.h> 
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h> 


int main(void)
{
  char *my_args[5];
  pid_t pid;
  
  my_args[0] = "child.exe";
  my_args[1] = "arg1";
  my_args[2] = "arg2";
  my_args[3] = NULL;
  
  puts ("fork()ing");
  
  switch ((pid = fork()))
  {
    case -1:
      /* Fork() has failed */
      perror ("fork");
      break;
    case 0:
      /* This is processed by the child */
      execv ("child.exe", my_args);
      puts("Uh oh! If this prints, execv() must have failed");
      exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
      break;
    default:
      /* This is processed by the parent */
      puts ("This is a message from the parent");
      break;
  }
  
  puts ("End of parent program");
  return 0;
}

/*
 * Program output:
 fork()ing
 This is a message from the parent
 End of parent program
 I am the child
 Arg 1 arg1
 Arg 2 arg2
 *
 */

<unistd.h> and <sys/types.h> are UNIX headers, which Bloodshed isn't going to port to windows any time soon. Likewise I don't think you can use anything that depends on <process.h> either but I'm not so sure on that.

Use one of the Windows API options maybe?

Bloodshed made a compiler?
