Convert Windows application to Linux application
-
My flight simulation club is working on the development on an opensource flight simulator (Fly! Legacy) under GPL license. http://sourceforge.net/projects/flylegacy/[^] Currently, only a Windows version of this software is available and so, one or several people would be necessary (because the current developers are very busy at the time) to help us to convert this Windows application to a Linux application. The application is developed in C++ and is compiled with Visual Studio 2008. About the librairies included in the project, I don't know all because I'm not developer of the project but I can tell you that uses: _ OpenGL _ OpenAL _ FreeImage _ OPAL-ODE _ Glew _ PThread _ STLport (not sure) Could you help us ? Thank you for your cooperation.

I see the goal of the project, but what exactly is the problem? Also, is it necesary to convert the project to Linux? Running it in an emulator is not a viable option?
The problem is that we have a lack of developers on the project and as the result, those who developed the project at the moment don't have the opportunity to convert the Windows application into a Linux one, because they are working on more important priorities (like the creation of a 1st aircraft). I heard that this task would be pretty fast to do (a couple of days), but for the moment, we don't know anybody who have the skills to work on this. Unfortunately, an emulation solution (Wine, even a virtual machine) was rejected by the developers, mainly for performances reasons.

There is the Collaboration-Beta-Testing[^] forum for requests like yours.

I meant, what is the programming problem? :) Or should the question be seen as a request to do the full conversion project for you?
There is no programming problem. Indeed, if we could find someone who would accept to do the conversion for us, that would be perfect.

In that case you should post in the appropriate forum; your question has nothing to do with C/C++.
I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

It's done.

Ever tried WINE (http://www.winehq.org/[^])?
No, we never tried Wine but the team has already rejected this solution because it wants a native Linux software, not an emulation or a virtual machine, mainly for performances reasons.
