communication library for linux and windows

jwstric2 · 02-10-2005, 11:28 AM

I was just looking around and seeing if anyone knew of a communication lib available to both windows and linux that is pretty platform dependant. I though ONC RPC was at first, but apparently there is no free portmapper or implementation for windows.

I need somthing to pass requests and parameter by, possibly with some built in security and broadcasting

Thanks

Um, IP sockets?

Forgive me if I'm missing the point.

Not missing the point too much, but I do not really want to write a remote procedural library from scratch. What I was thinking was something very similar to ONC RPC but perhaps without the portmapper or if someone has a version of portmapper than runs of windows that would be awesome.

Not quite sure what functionality you're after, but
Qt has quite a few network functions available, and
one can get it for windohs and linux.

And have a look on freshmeat ...
