well, DJGPP helped me in porting linux apps to MS Win. the apps compiled seamlessly without any modification eventhough the code contains posix dependent codes (termios, pthreads, etc.). *i should even earned a week slack if wasn't for my ignorance. =p
the app runs faster compared to when ported on MS SFU (Services for Unix, which is btw, based on Cygwin. and of course, MS open-sourced it (GPLed) ).
it's almost perfect except for the "fork" thing, hehehehe. maybe i'll do it the apache(for Win32) way.
other possible solutions for porting posix-dependent codes to win32 are the ff:
- PThreads for win32 <http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32> - PW32 (Posix over Win32 Layer) <pw32.sf.net> - UWin (Unix for Windows) <www.research.att.com/sw/tools/uwin/>
i hope that DJGPP is not only good for beating the deadlines. =)
is DJGPP still being used in the academe?
