Compiling Borland c++ windows source on linux..

arun79 · 10-14-2004, 02:05 PM

Hi all,

I found this great program for french verb conjugations on the net.. But it is for Windows. I have it installed on my system with Crossover Office.

However, I want to port the application to linux as it is a very useful program. The source is Borland C++.

My question is this... Is it possible to compile this source in Linux??? If so, what are the tools/ compilers that I should use???

Any suggestions are welcome...

If it doesn't use features that are specific to the
Professional or Enterprise edition and avoids
winodws-only things like OCX' you should be
able to recompile it with the C++ bit of Kylix.

http://www.borland.com to hunt down the
download link.

Cheers,
Tink

Is this an OCX library that you are talking about ??
