If its a database application. A nice portable C++ DB layer is DTL[^]. ORM via templates, very sweet. Ryan

I used STL. Just trying to remember which one... I think it was STLPort. http://www.stlport.org/

I just download Sun Studio 11[^] from Sun's web site. It handles C, C++, and believe it or not...Fortran. It's now free as well. I haven't had time to install it yet. Oh...supported Unix/Linux versions are Solaris 8, 9, and 10, SuSE ES 9, and Red Hat ES 4. Regards, Brigg Thorp Senior Software Engineer Timex Corporation

Thanks Ryan, that looks pretty cool Phil Harding.

I used DTL in one project and have mixed feelings about it. Just too many compiler warnings :suss:

For Unix/Linux develoment, I simply use gvim and g++, although some people recommend Code::Blocks[^] as well.

Yeah, I had some nasty concurrency problems in an early version, SQL being executed out of order when using a supposedly thread safe object. Still I've never found anything comparable for C++, and it is a big timesaver, as well as enabling some elegant DB code. Ryan

Well since no one's said it yet, how about Java! :):rolleyes:

I've never had to do a cross-platform job, but if I did, I'd check to see if MainSoft[^] was had the tools I needed. John

I realize you've had many answers to your question, so I thought I'd throw my 'hat' into the ring. I did a small crossplatform program that was used on Windows and Linux (Mandrake). I downloaded Dev C++[^], installed several different frameworks, and ended up using wxWidgets[^] (formally wxWindows). In less than an hour, I had the entire IDE, compiler and framework installed, a small test application developed and ported between the two systems. If I had to do this again, I would go exactly that same route.

I know, you asked for C++, but since someone already suggested Java... From the Churchdown Parish Magazine: "Would the Congregation please note that the bowl at the back of the Church, labelled 'For The Sick,' is for monetary donations only."

Thanks for all the great answers everybody :) Phil Harding.
