Problem in using .so
currently i am working in network simulation software under windows.
For this project i have used different .dll files. Now i have to move this same project under Linux OS. But .dll files are not supported by Linux, Is there any functinality to support both .dll & .so |
I am not positive, but perhaps you could use winelib (it is an so which enables use of dll).
|
What do these .dll's do? How do you use them?
Whatever you need, there's almost certainly an equivalent under Linux. Be specific if you have compile-time dependencies (are you writing C++ code that uses a specific API, which in turn uses the .dll's) or run-time (did you buy a specific package that comes with these .dll's). |
Yes you could probably get things running under WINE (see winehq.org for more info, but you might have a steep learning curve to deal with.
That said, without understanding the nature of your network simulation project, running this "experiment" this way may invalidate your results since you are not running a purely Linux or Windows system in this case. I agree with others in that if you are trying to run this simulation on a Linux system, your code should be properly ported over to a pure GNU system (as in re-compiled using GNU compilers and appropriate support libraries) so that the code is more native. In a long run, this will likely be easier than getting things running under WINE anyway, a lot cleaner too. |
Did you tried Mono?
http://www.mono-project.com It provides the necessary software to develop and run .NET client and server applications on Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, Windows, and Unix. Hope it helps, |
