      @AlvaroS

      well you can use
      qDebug() "qproc: " << myProcess->error();

      and check the code in
      http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qprocess.html#ProcessError-enum

          " This is the default return value of error()."

          You do call it AFTER u call
          myProcess->start(program,arguments); ?

              hmm really odd then
              it should say FailedToStart

              Just to be 100% clear.

              princi is never run ?

                okey look.
                if I write:

                    myProcess->start(program, arguments);
                
                    myProcess->waitForFinished(3000);
                
                    QProcess::ProcessError error = myProcess->error();
                
                

                Now error says:
                QProcess::Crashed The process crashed some time after starting successfully.

                  so it sounds like your princi do run but it crashes?

                  oh. sorry my bad. start is async so calling error right after was
                  not correct.

                  waitForFinished fixed that.

                    @mrjj Yes... I think so...
                    How should I pass the arguments?

                    the arguments of princi are:

                    0 wps.front().x() wps.front().y() 0 wps.back().x() wps.front().y() prueba_princi.bmp 0 0 +
                    

                    so my QStringList arguments is:

                     QStringList arguments;
                    arguments << "0" << QString::number(wps.front().x()) << QString::number(wps.front().y()) << "0" << QString::number(wps.back().x()) << QString::number(wps.back().y()) << "prueba_princi.bmp" << "0" << "0" << "+" ;

                      it seems fine
                      You should look inside princi for how it
                      reads it. it must be that part that is crashing ?

                                well you must debug it then.
                                Try to qDebug inside princi what you read and compare that to what u read for
                                system ("./princi 0 5 10 0 7 8 prueba_princi.bmp 0 0 +")

                                Sadly We cannot guess why you crash from the code shown.

                                Also you dump the arguments to qDebug before u
                                call start, just to see what u are sending also.

                                and then take it from there.
