Creating own software

[LemonMan]

How can you create a software that is compatible both on Linux and Windows? What needs to be changed for your soft to work on both? (Without using Java or such languages)

[WingedPanther]

There are several languages that can be used in both Windows and Linux. C++ is one example. If you use crossplatform libraries, such as wxWidgets, you can take advantage of them as well.

RealBasic is another example. You can code in Windows, Linux or Mac and it will compile for all three. Why not use Java?

[LemonMan]

So, I just get the source code, take it on a Linux and Windows machine, and compile it? Cool...

@Jordan: I was just curious how to do it without using cross platform languages..

[PenguinLover]

Yeah I read something about this... every OS will compile a program differently for it to understand... duh.

[LemonMan]

Well, if not.. that would mean that Linux and Windows would be much more compatible..
