code translate from window to linux
Author
what part do I need to alter?
Is c++ stl different lib from linux and windows?
Are there some windows sdk substitue on linux? like gdi window function etc...
Is crt header file need to change? I mean crt header file is different from window.
Anything I forgot?
The STL, at least, is standard, and shouldn't need to change.
From searching, it seems you should look into the keywords "WINE" and "GTK".

What so for linux's different desktops you have to code the window specifically to them? And can't you just use SDL?
STL is platform independent.
Every single line dealing with the Windows API is not platform independent. A nice C++ way would be the use of wrapper classes around controls, which you can do for all platforms you support. Then build a factory which creates the correct control for the platform it currently runs on.
And yes, you can use SDL on almost any platform.

GTK apps will generally run under KDE as long as you have the appropriate libraries, and vice versa.

SDL doesn't do windows. GTK, KDE, wxWidgets etc are what should be used. Or just hack it straight out of X11 and make your own Widgets [smile]
