I have a issue, where I need the GUI from QT Designer to give values to a separate program running from terminal where the values from the GUI are "printed" onto the terminal interface (Linux with GCC compiler)
I have researched pthreads, but their application examples are limited to In-Application uses. The code in my main file is as follows:
#include "main_window.h"
#include <QApplication>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream>
void *thr_func(void *thread_id)
{
int tid = thread_id;
pthread_mutex_lock(&lock_x);
cout << "thread" << tid << end1;
cout << xValue << end1;
cout << yValue << end1;
cout << zValue << end1;
pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock_x);
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
pthread_create(thread_1, NULL, thr_func, NULL)
while(true)
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
MainWindow w;
w.show();
return a.exec();
}
pthread_exit(NULL);
}
**Note that xValue, yValue, and zValue already stream to a textfile from the QT application. I am adapting the application for terminal running and control.
