Porting games from Linux to Windows :-)

Hello people,

Here is Reinaldo Quaresma from Brazil! Thankx for all help I received from you!
I am planning put on air an special Portuguese SDL website soon.
Does anybody here are from Brazil/Portugal?

Actually, I am writting because I got some troubles during the compilation process of a Linux
C Game (using SD) in a VC 6.0 compiler. My question is: theorically, if the game uses C/C++
and only SDL, it would have to run, right?

Which could be a trap since VC isn’t so friendly and I can’t get any hint about it?

Thanks

Unfortunately that’s not really true. Even if SDL cross-compiles fine,
your application has to be cross compatible too. There’s a wicked long
list of things that don’t ‘just work’^TM

I used to have the links for a few good online resources that listed out
the dos and don’ts of cross-platform compliance, but they seem to be
gone.

A good place to go and look for general portability help would probably
be the Mozilla page. It doesn’t use SDL, obviously, but I doubt there
are many open projects with as much experience in cross-platform coding
as them.On Fri, 2002-01-18 at 18:13, Reinaldo Quaresma Azevedo wrote:
