An anonymous reader writes "This series of articles helps you migrate your Win32 C/C++ applications to Linux on POWER. Win32 C/C++ Apps to Linux Part-1 of this series covers the Win32 APIs mapping to Linux on POWER regarding the initialization and termination, process, thread, and shared memory services. Win32 C/C++ Apps to Linux Part-2 illustrates how to map Win32 to Linux with respect to mutex application program interfaces (APIs)."

  1. Stupid question by Mercedes308 · · Score: -1, Troll

    I don't have any programing skills or anything, but does this relate to porting win32 applications to run in Linux?

  2. OS X? by ericdano · · Score: -1, Troll

    Wouldn't it be smarter to move apps to OS X?

    It's either on the beat or off the beat, it's that easy.

      Why the hell would it be smarter to "move apps to OS X"?
      Because unlike Linux, customers will actually pay for the OS X software, funding your time/effort and making it worthwhile for you to develop even more good software for that platform. Also I suspect there are more serious Mac users out there. Think of all the multimedia people and Engineers who use Macs because of the power. (I'm not a Mac nut, btw)
  3. Re:My Java Programs Port Really Nice by Jessta · · Score: 0, Troll

    I suppose it ran as slow and resource intensive as it did on windows?

    ...and that is all I have to say about that.

  4. Linux Is Dead (LID) by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Admit it already. Seriously, there is not a single distribution truly ready for production much less commercial/personal effort. AND half the applications in any given distribution are broken and don't work right, requiring a serious amount of technical knowledge to configure. Sure the folks at MIT may be able to save a few pennies but the rest of us are stuck with Windows...

    Together we can put the LID on Linux.
