Porting MFC applications to Linux
A step-by-step guide to using wxWindows  | 
Level: Introductory Markus Neifer (howlingmad@users.sourceforge.net), Software engineer 01 Apr 2002 Porting Windows applications to Linux doesn't have to involve a retraining nightmare. Markus Neifer shows how to port MFC using wxWindows, giving a user's guide to this open source GUI toolkit and providing a complete, step-by-step porting example. Still maintaining that legacy Windows application built using Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), but now you have clients requesting a Linux version? You may have highly skilled MFC developers on your team, but how do you come up to speed with Linux development? Don't panic; this article is for you. With the help of wxWindows, a portable GUI toolkit for C++ and Python, I'll show you how to port a Windows-only MFC application to Linux using a Multiple Document Interface (MDI) text editor as an example. A small application like this helps focus the discussion on the nuts and bolts of porting the framework and prevents us from getting lost in a sea of code. Complete source code for both the MFC application and the wxWindows application is available in the Resources section later in this article. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-mfc/ |
