Help needed for C++ code port from Windows CE to Linux

[ayeung]

Hi,

I'm trying to port some C++ code for an embedded control system running on Windows CE to Linux and I'm not sure where to start. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Apart from Windows-specific API, what other things do I need to consider? Any help is much appreciated.

Obviously, get the thing to compile and link with Linux libraries.

Hopefully, all it uses is Win32.

There may be a big endian /little endian issue.

The sizes of fundamental types may vary.

Memory management may be different.

Thanks very much for that. Does anyone know of any helpful websites that provide useful hints and tips and things to avoid? Are there any tools that will help?
