replacing windows functions with ubuntu linux
Thread Solved
 |
Ok so I am going to be switching to an ubuntu linux machine soon to do all of my coding and I was wondering if anyone has a reference to the function calls you can use with it because I am used to windows programming so now in my code
Sleep(3000);
becomes useless so I need to start finding alternatives. All help is appreciated.

Don't forget the change of units, otherwise you'll be hibernating rather than sleeping

sleep takes parameter in seconds -- I think there is a usleep that is in milliseconds.
If you stick to standard c++ code there should not be a problem. But if you use a lot of win32 api graphics functions then you are in deep shit. Most of that is comletely different in the *nix world. My advice is to use a portable library, such as wxWidgets or QT.

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
