Retooling your MFC application for Linux

Many companies developing MFC or native WIN32 applications are beginning to investigate the huge potential of the expanding Linux market. There are MFC/WIN32 emulators for Unix but this a very expensive option, and ties the developer to the fortunes of a third party.

Translating the application to wxWidgets is increasingly the option that many are taking. The wxWidgets API is similar in many ways to MFC, making translation easier than for other tools; the open source model means quick bug fixes and enhancements; and it doesn't lock you in to a proprietary tool.

Julian Smart of Anthemion Software can help you plan and implement translation of your MFC applications to wxWidgets. Julian Smart is the creator of wxWidgets and an MFC developer himself.

Since MFC and wxWidgets can co-exist on WIN32, the translation can often be done gradually (depending on the nature of the application).
