Corresponding Linux API and libraries found in VC|++/Builder
 
I'm about to port an old app from windows to a new platform. I wonder if I need to keep the pace up, what can I do to find out the corresponding APIs and Platform-specific static library functions from VC++/Builder to Linux C++. Or are they virtually the same? or there are some good references manauls or website I can look. Thanks

Depends on your application, really. You can write an app in VC++ using just the ANSI C++. In that case, not much porting is required.

But if the app has GUI component, there are no equivalent classes/calls. If your app was well written(ie. if Model, View and Controller are well separated), you can still salvage Model and Controller parts. You may have to rewrite the View part.

Fianlly, Mr lucky*.*... You need lot of luck!! `(:)
