Urgent Help

Sureshp,

You might want to check out http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/default.asp

Of course, I can't speak for the other experts, and 500 pts is sure worth the attempt, but Sureshp might really need someone who they can contact after the initial effort, etc.  This is much more a consulting project rather than a specific question/answer issue.

Just a thought...

I disagree, this is not a question on can answer within a decent time. And sorry if he has problems with it than he should be prepared to pay really prices for that work. I have read over the code you
a) have to be fluent in the Win stuff
b) have to be fluent in Database design and the C-API for it
c) have to br fluent in Linux programming

Well I could help myself in ever area, but than I want to get paid for it decently.

Well just my 2 cents
Friedrich

I'm pretty sure $5000 would NOT be enough to convert this program to SQL and Linux!  

Not to mention that since this seems to be a real-time server, one needs a heck of a lot more info about system load ansd respnse times to even begin designig a port.

I agree with grg99. I have a ungut feeling that there is someone really asking for "really" jobs, without "really" paying...

Friedrich

Hi gj62,fridom,grg99

Anyway thanks for your comment.

gj62,
" Sureshp might really need someone who they can contact after the initial effort, "

Could you please help me to solve this problem (initail steps). As you said , after that i should approach someone for this work. Could you please tell me some hint to start this problem?

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sur  

You indicate Kdo is helping with #2.  For #1, you might want to post in the MySQL area - if you haven't worked with the MySQL API, you've got some effort ahead of you.  I am not familiar enough with it to assist :-(

gj62,

Thanks for your immediate response.
could you please help me to provide some hints to convert it into Linux. Hope Kdo may help to solve this problem.

Thanks
Sur

fridom,
Thanks for your well explained note.
I will go through carefully ..

"replace all the Windows specific call to Unix specifics, do not change anything else, make it work as it is at the moment "

Can you please suggest some site for Windows - Linux comparision?

Thanks in advance.

Sur

Have you googled? Just one of the many hits:
http://www.codeweavers.com/about/news/talks/borcon2000/borcon2000.htm

We too have ported a non trivial Software from Windows to Unix, look for lcc-win32 and Qide

fridom,

Hope you can assist for this problem if i face some doubt regarding this.

Thanks

"Unfortunatly again Thread Func is again an overly compley function, but it does not help you have to replace it with a unix specifiv version "

Is it possible to re-write in Linux?
Waiting for your comment

that is a CSV format this is totally easy to parse, what is not so easy is to come up with a decent Database design for it I do not have any clue what the fields are standing for.

Thread func can probably be rewritten using pthreads. If that is a wise idea is still another question.

Friedrich

fridom,
Thanks for your reply.
May i post it as a separate question (pthread).
Hope you can help me to solve that problem...

regards
Sur

you can of course post a a question about pthread, but why don't you do yourself a favour and start reading about it first. I wrote before that the thing you want to do is "real work" and so you better be prepared to pay "real prices"

Regard
Friedrich

I had posted the same....
