See QProcess.

HI,

But using Q process I can only execute a process but I cannot compile right.

For example,

I have a program say helloworld.cpp. From the Qt application If I click on The QPushbutton I want to compile this helloworld program. How can I compile this? I did not find any oprion to compile the program using QProcess.

Compiler is a program that you can start with QProcess.

I have a program say helloworld.cpp.

It's not a program but a source file you pass as a parameter to the compiler.

From the Qt application If I click on The QPushbutton I want to compile this helloworld program. How can I compile this? I did not find any oprion to compile the program using QProcess.

QProcess is not only for compiling. QProcess wouldn't be too reusable if it was aimed for compilation processes only don't you think? QProcess is used to start any external program and to communicate with it.
