    Porting Windows program to BSD

    I have an open source Windows program I would like to port to
    FreeBSD. I tried compiling it 'as is' and, so far, it only trips up
    on MS/Windows definitions, such as 'ulong'. Is there a cross-check
    list to find equivalent typedefs, defines, etc. between gcc and
    Windows stuff? Is there a software 'converter' of sorts, too?

      Surely you can just use sizeof and work it out for yourself.

          How about the win32api include files for Windows gcc?

                  Ah, yes, Stephen. I forgot all about that. Thanks.

                      In addition, there is the Porter's Handbook which I also forgot about
                      (and even keep a copy on this computer; jeez).
