Depends on what you want. If you want something that takes MFC routines and translates to Linux, then your probably out of luck, unless it runs under Wine. But if your programmer doesn't mind rewriting his code to use other libraries then you are in with a chance. WxWindows is a free set of libraries for just such a thing. There are others but this stands out as being very good. They provide a wrapper around MFC for windows based applications, and also wrap GTK and Motif for Linux. Also on the way hopefully is a Qt wrapper and support for other platforms, such as the Mac, BeOs. Check it out on www.wxwindows.org where they also have links to a number of cross platform apps that have used the libraries. I've used it only on a small project to test it's viability and was quite impressed. I've left the company I was working for at the time, so I've not needed to do something like that since. Good luck, and good hunting RikD JR wrote:
Hello.
I was wondering if anyone here might know if there is a library, or anything else, that would make it easy to port MFC based programs to Linux? I am trying to talk a programmer into porting his Windoze program to Linux and that is his big concern at this time.
Thank you in advance. ;-) James Ruhsam www.tsc-ashes.com
