Hey guys I needed some help on writing cross-platform code but not an application but a library. I am creating a library both static and dynamic with most of the development done in Linux, I have got the static and shared library generated in Linux but now wanted to generate a windows version of a static and dynamic library in the form ...
My primary OS is Linux, but now I'm forced to write some C++ applications for Windows. I was thinking about developing on the Linux box with cross platform libraries like WxWidgets (and some care about other platform dependencies) and then cross compiling the result to mingw target. So the tools I'm thinking of using are g++ for compi...

Python is not a pretty good language in defining a set of commands to run. Bash is. But Bash does not run naively on Windows. Background: I am trying to build a set of programs - with established dependency relationships between them - on mac/win/linux. Something like macports but should work on all the three platforms listed. This beg...
I am working on a Java application using Swing and I want to set up the GUI using the "proper" fonts and font sizes. With proper I mean the fonts (+size) as defined by the user, so that my application will fit right in to the user's screen setup (resolution / font size combination) without having to provide my own custom settings. My app...
This is so vague it's ridiculous but who knows... We have got this client who will not budge - they are supplying PDF files auto generated by their own software. These files don't import into our (printing) lab management software - made by kodak. So I emailed Kodak the error log and relevant files and got this back.. DP2 supports th...
Hi, I want to know, why is it too hard to make a program run in many OSes, like Windows and Linux, without including glue code. They all share the same architecture (x86), so I think it should be simple. Furthermore, C is standardized, so why are implementations diferent in these OSes? Why is it hard to follow the standard and implement...
Possible Duplicate: Is Mono ready for prime time? I have a few questions that are related to each others. What strategy do you use for creating applications in C# that work on Windows, Linux and Mac? I know that mono is probably the right tool, but what is your work flow like? Do you develop in Visual Studio and then try to po...
When I try to build this project with cmake and gcc on a 64-bit linux (debian) machine, I get an error from the linker: Linking C executable ../../../../cpsadamsx /home/dala/lib64/libSimTKcommon.so: undefined reference to `dlopen' /home/dala/lib64/libSimTKcommon.so: undefined reference to `dlclose' /home/dala/lib64/libSimTKcommon.so: un...
I'm looking for a free cross-platform installer generator that is fully Java-driven (meaning workflow and plugins are written in Java). Ideally the installer should download the JRE on-demand instead of bundling it directly into the installer. Does something like this already exist? Please note that InstallAnywhere no longer offers a fr...

Hello All. I am working on a simple console app to get my feet wet with curses again. I am having a bit of a problem porting my app from xp to AIX.

We are trying to compare 7 different programming technologies for browser based client applications. Please give your thoughts on this speed comparison. What will the future bring? Will HTML5 replaces Flash and Silverlight in the browser or will JavaScript always be too slow for any CPU intensive applications. Could Roozz plugin comp...
I'm writing an embedded control system in C that consists of multiple tasks that send messages to each other (a fairly common idiom, I believe!), but I'm having a hard time designing a mechanism which: is neat is generic is relatively efficient most importantly: is platform independent (specifically, doesn't violate strict-aliasing or ...
After working with the ARM instruction set for a bit after heavy X86 work in the past, I'm pondering something for the CIL AOT/JIT compiler I'm working on. My intermediate representation is a fixed-width expansion of the CIL byte code with a couple extra opcodes. Here's an example of a situation that arises in the JIT, and two possible s...
I was wondering whether using POSIX.pm would make my Perl code less cross platform. From reading the documentation it's not very clear how well it's supported on Win32/64 Perl implementations. Is it wise to rely use POSIX.pm if one cares about portable code? ...
I have a file path in String form. In Java, I need to determine if that file exists on the file system (and our code needs to be cross-platform as it runs on Windows, Linux and OS X). The problem is that the case of the file path and the file itself may not match, even though they do represent the same file (presumably this is because t...

According to RFC 2109, the value of a cookie "is opaque to the user agent and may be anything the origin server chooses to send, possibly in a server-selected printable ASCII encoding." As a consequence of this, different languages/platforms/server send a different cookie value even when the original value is the same. For example, C#/...
