You don't need to "port" C code to ObjC. ObjC is just C with some
simple extensions. Similarly, ObjC++ is just C++ with the same simple
extensions.
The only problems you might have are things like non-portable
assumptions in your code (e.g. structure layouts, byte ordering if
you're targeting PPC machines as well as Intel, inline assembler) or
places where your code isn't properly standards compliant. Exactly
how much trouble you have depends on how portable the original code was.
Just include the source files in your Xcode project, then hit Build.
If you have errors at that point, you'll need to fix them. You'll
also need to test quite carefully if this code is coming from another
platform.
Kind regards,
Alastair.
