Modularity with C++ on Windows and Linux
-
Hi ! I am facing a problem which I don't know if a solution exists. I might have to develop a software which should fullfill these requirements : - Modular - Using an Oracle database - Have to work on Windows and Linux I know that Oracle exists for both OS. I don't exactly know how to interface it in a way that will work for both Windows and Linux. But my main concern is regarding modularity. Each time I had to have modularity under Windows, I just used ActiveX components. I was easy and worked well. But, how to achieve such modularity on Linux ? Is it possible to have a concept of modularity which would work for both Windows and Linux ? Any hints, help, links, advice, etc.. will be greatly appreciated ! Jerome

There is (almost) certainly no single framework for you to work with, and the resulting code compiles on Linux and Windows. To make a GUI that works with Linux and Windows use Java, or you can try wxWindows[^]. It works fine, but is not as advanced as MFC. *modified the link. 2003-0211T12:37:00*
My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

I think he means wxWindows www.wxwindows.org[^] -- karl
Yes, thanks!

ODBC interface to databases is available both on Linux and Windows. I guess Oracle has some lower-level API that might also work on both systems. There's an implementation of DCOM for Linux from Software AG.

You can alos check out the QT-Framework wihich is a very well developed C++-cross-platform GUI-library with database connectivity included. It is free and open-source for Linux non-commercial usage, for Windows there is a time-limited test release, I think. www.trolltech.com or www.troll.no or www.trolltech.no
