/comp/ - Porting apps to linux

How hard is it to port windows applications to linux? I know about WINE but I am interested in the technical aspect of how it's done. Or is it just different in compilation and not source code?

bump for interest.

If they're written in a portable language like C and aren't tied too much into the Windows API, then I'm sure it wouldn't be all that difficult to port it to other operating systems. Otherwise, if they're coded in some ``Microsoft approved bullshite'', then probably not.

Perhaps. But GCC just recently added sepples support no? Or at least extended sepples support. I'd imagine it would have to have time to mature.
