Of course, it wouldn't make any sense otherwise, would it? (There are a few platform-specific functions that have x11 or win32 in their names, but they are very special-case.) > So, if I would write this programm on a Linux system, would it be > possible to simply install the Windows library on the Windows > system, and without changing the names of the functions (of the > library) in my programm, to compile it? If you program otherwise is portable, and if you take into consideration some relatively straightforward rules of thumb to follow, sure. (See http://www.iki.fi/tml/fosdem-2006.pdf ) It's best to build and test on both platforms continuously while developing the software, not just as a last-night effort, only to notice that you have made some fundamental nonportable design choice right at the start... > Is there also a c++ version for Windows? With C++ "version" I guess you mean gtkmm, which really isn't a "version", but a C++ binding on top of GTK+. Anyway, as far as I know, yes. Have never used it myself, though. --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
