IFTools has an free/libre open source (wxWindows license) communication terminal which uses a multi platform communications library. Worth to take a look at: https://iftools.com/opensource/download.en.php

This post has the same title as this , from Violin Iliev because it is almost a "repost". I had an old post on compiling win32 binaries on linux , but the technique I had shown lack the windows resource file compiling. Violin had written his wrapper to the windres resource compiler, but one good "emergency option" if one couldn't, or don't want, or hasn't time to, write a wrapper or compile Violin'd wrapper, is to follow what was commented on Violin's blog by someone who signed as Andy. Andy said: "I had the same problems with windres and mingw32-make under wine 1.0.1 I solved the problems by putting an original copy of msvcrt.dll in the bin subfolder of mingw32 and telling wine to load it first instead of its own msvcrt emulation. hope it can be useful Andy"

Old habits are hard to be dropped. As a long term linux user I fell much more comfortable using my old emacs text editor with a good old "green on black" Xterm terminal console window. So we have some legacy code here on my current job, those which must run also on windows. I was making some improvements on it, porting to use wx-widgets, compiling and using it on linux. But some windows users started to want those improvements on their widows versions. As the only WX programmer around, I was the only person able to compile the windows version. As I think future improvements would also be wanted by the windows users, I decided to deploy a windows wxDevCPP installation on wine on my linux workstation. Well the first steps are simple: First get a wx-DevCPP installation executable on Install it using wine Open your .dev files on wxDev Build it Now you have a Makefile.win, which can be used to directly compile win32 binaries. A batch file could also be written to make things easy:...

Note to learn how to use wxWidgets: http://zetcode.com/tutorials/wxwidgetstutorial/thetetrisgame/ http://www.vconrado.com/wx/ http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Makefile On windows (and on wine ;-) we can use wxDev-C++ On Ubuntu, install the libwxgtk2.8-dev deb.
