I need to port this program (attached) to the Linux environment. This
is the first program I have attempted to port.
Has anyone ever had to port from Windows to Linux\Unix, and if so how
did it go and what tools did you use. I have downloaded cygwin for
windows, is this going to be any use?
The program itself simply uses the mysql++ API library to connect to the
server, run a query and then exit.
Parts of the program that might cause me problems are the headers I
think, because what is Linux for:
#include iostream
#include iomanip
#include include\mysql++
Please I really just need a starting point; someone to say you need this
tool you can download it at www.thistool.com. I am a complete newbie to
porting (though not to mysql nor working with linux or windows
programming)
Hopefully when I become proficient with this program I can move on to
bigger and greater projects.
***I would appreciate ANY input***
Sorry once again if this is off topic!!
Thanks lots

Hi!
On Unix use g++ 2.95.2 or 2.95.3. Build mysql++ 1.7.9 from the
sources, with ./configure make.
Then make a Makefile for your project based on the Makefile from
mysql++ examples.
Portability of MySQL++ will pose you no problems at all.
YOu can also download some MySQL 3.23 binaries for your flavour of
Unix, in order to have your program linked and running.
You will have problems with other components you used on Windows, but
not with MySQL nor with MySQL++.
