Hi Richard,
It all depends on how it is done. If you want an actual Window for your
game, dialog boxes, etc that stuff is pretty Windows specific. The Linux
graphical tool kits are specific to the Linux graphical user interface.
So those areas would have to be made independantly.
As for sound if you replaced DirectX directSound with something like
OpenAL then there would be no problem. There is a OpenAL SDK for
Windows, Linux, and Mac so cross building that would be a simple matter.
SDL will do good keyboard handling for either os, but if you want
joysticks and then DirectX and Windows is a better option.
