There is a Toolkit available called XVT you can use it under Windows or
Unix based OS, but its very expensive and i have writeen several programs with
it, but i think for best performance the front end the GUI has to be written
in native OS code.
I have XP in Win32, Linux and Sun Solaris OS, i write server for those OS
and its no problem for me to write code which runs under both OS ( i do it at
my job )
As CVS System i use Java based program ( runs under WIn32, Linux and Sun
Solaris ) called SmartCVS its nice and the base version is free.
VC6.0 uses special makefile ( its not compatible with other makefiles
) and i will use MFC ( makes development easier )
In my project i will use different coding styles, i know u prefer K&R
style, i myself use RogueWave Style
all var names from objects start with its ( or is ) for eg itsParent,
isActive and so, local Variable names have a or an for eg aObject and func
vars have the for eg theString. I use no tabs instead 4 spaces and func look
like this
/************************************************************
*
************************************************************/
void func foo(int theCount)
{
for ( int i=0; i<10;i++)
{
int a = 1;
}
}
