Ask for a documentation to port a windows program to linux?!

[jeremy28]

Hi all!

I'm using ubuntu 9.04;

I have a large project in windows that I want to "port" it in linux.
It uses IPC mechanism "Shared memory" and also "Critical Section" APIs in windows, but unfortunately I have no good reference to change
these windows APIs to their equivalent in linux?

Is there a comprehensive documentation or reference for this issues?
I mean a table containing the equivalent APIs or systemcalls in windows and linux!

For example, what's an alternative for the "InitializeCriticalSection" API in linux?
Or an alternative for "CRITICAL_SECTION" structure?

Or even an alternative for "RegOpenKeyEx", although we don't have registry in linux!!

TIA.

first of all: stop double posting (here).

answer: rewrite the windows specific stuff POSIX compliant.
