Unix MFC
-
Does any one know of an equivalent to MFC for Unix? I've been programming DOS/Windows all my life and am now being asked to make the transition to Unix. I know next to nothing about Unix and need to learn it fast. Additionally, does anyone know of a good 'C++ for Unix' kind of book? Maybe one that deals with X-Unix (Windows conterpart for it). Thanks, Ralf. ralf.riedel@usm.edu

Check wxWindows. They support several platforms, it's free and the window controls are almost similar to MFC, which makes it easy to learn.

Along with wxWindows suggested above, try: 1. KDE which makes use of Qt or 2. Gnome. These are two of the common window managers for Linux. The sites above have links to documentation that I've found handy. There seem to be a few more books about Gnome development than KDE, but from what I've seen, there's enough help online that you probably don't need a book. And if it's not for Linux, I know Qt works on a variety of platforms - trouble is it's commercial. My 2 cents. J

Count another vote for wxWindows. It is open source, but somewhat less restrictive licensing than then GPL - you can freely use this stuff in commercial apps. It also is good becuase it does not take a "least common denominator" approach. They have wrapper classes for lots of OS-specific stuff, and some popular UI elements (such as the tree control) are implemented by wxWindows if the OS doesn't support the control natively. Generally, I can build a wxWindows app for Windows, and then compile it on Linux after doing a little clean-up (removing MS-specific stuff that inevitibly gets in there. :) ) Check it out. recursive adj. See RECURSIVE.

Not MFC, but you might want to check out www.borland.com, who have announced plans to support RAD C++ for Linux. Rob.
