| Hello evryone,
I am a novice Embedded/DSP developer, and I am supposed to port a piece
of code which was created using VC++ .net to work on a Power PC based
processor which has VXWorks OS on it .......
Please tell me what are te precautions I must take ... beacuse I find
that the existing code refers to windows files and headers ...and are
there any substitutes to these headers in VXWorks ...
Are there any sites wich will help me in this regard . or some E books
on these topics ...
Also tell me if I must start coding using Tornado II or is it ok if I
code using .net IDE .. bec problem is Torando is kind of hectic to work
with (Its tough for a windows developer to get accustomed to LInux
based softwares right !!!!)

Backups and a version control.

Usually, replacing windows headers is not the problem, just don't include
these when _WIN32 is not defined. The problems arise rather from what parts
of those headers were required. There, you have to make a case-by-case
study of what was needed and why and port that functionality according to
what the system supplies.

It's pretty hard for a VC programmer to tell you whether you need to use
another platform's IDE, rather ask other folks that use VXWorks. BTW: I
could indeed imagine cross compilation from Windows, too, and possibly even
using VC as IDE.
