Mapping the Windows XP APIs to Linux
-
Hi Friends, I have a task to write a new API such that it should commonly work for both Win XP and Linux operating systems. For example, if I am writting an API as: MyCreateThread(...) executing it on either XP or Linux it should work. Can anybody suggest how to wrap in such above said manner. Any relevant content ??? From where I can get? Kindly help. Thanks in advance

What do you want to make portable exactly ? A GUI, threading system, ... ? Anyway, I suggest you take a look at wxWidgets[^], it is a cross-platform GUI library which has also support for threading on so on. Take a look at the features to see if it does what you are looking for. No need to reinvent the wheel.

For mapping windows threads to linux, take a look at this article http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-ipc2lin1.html[^ For GUI, I wrote an article on using GTK on Linux and Windows, search for GTK in codeproject and you should find it.
