Hello
I am in the process of porting a huge application (> 700 000 lines of code ;
C ; Unix/Linux) to Windows.
I will not be using cygwin to port the GUI, but the project is based on lots
of static libraries. Thus it prompted me with several questions, both
technical and commercial.
I will post the commercial ones to the licensing mailing list.
Thus here are the technical questions :
a) Are my own static libraries ( .a) compiled with cgiwin accepted by GUI
builders like Visual C++, DevC++, CodeBlocks etc.. ?
If this is the case then I do have the following questions :
b) If I do what's mentioned above in order to produce a binary, how does
it work when it is shiped to a client ? Is there a need to ship something
else with it (like cygwin dll ??) ?
c) Is the cygwin1 dll shiped with my OS at the time of purchase compatible
with such a use ?
d) I make use of sockets. If I build a static library based on socket
handling to be used as above-mentioned in a binary, will it work as is on
Windows (especially the asynchronous part) ? Will I need something else ?
Will it imply modifiying the receiving computer of the binary ?
e) Also in this socket-related subject, how can I define services like in
etc/services on Windows without using cygwin ?
Thanks a lot for your answers..
