a{color:#color;}
when i run command on terminal:
lessc test.less test.css
it created a files css with name is test.css, but when i run this command via c++, it return a error. please help me. this is my c++ function:
std::string shell_exec( std::string cmd )
{
std::string result = "";
FILE* pipe = popen(cmd.c_str(), "r");
if (pipe == NULL)
{
return result;
}
char buffer[128];
while(!feof(pipe))
{
if(fgets(buffer, 128, pipe) != NULL)
{
result += buffer;
}
}
pclose(pipe);
return result;
}
shell_exec("lessc test.less test.css");
i got a error:
/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/node is existed.
================ UPDATE: Fixed==================
Thank you #Bass Jobsen , #Lightness Races in Orbit
i fixed by add absolute path to lessc and nodejs
shell_exec("/usr/bin/node /usr/bin/lessc test.less test.css");

From: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/29620
The advantage of #!/usr/bin/env python is that it will use whatever
python executable appears first in the user's $PATH.
So you should add node to the $PATH of the user that runs your script, see: https://stackoverflow.com/a/13210246/1596547
Notice that i can not compile your code, but i can when using the following code:
int main()
{
std::string r = shell_exec("lessc test.less test.css");
}
Probably also use using namespace std and string instead of std:string.
