Increasingly, developers, architects, and project managers face the challenge of porting their C, C++, and Java applications from UNIX® to Linux® environments. Now, there¡¯s a definitive, start-to-finish guide to porting applications from today¡¯s most widely used UNIX platforms: Solaris& 8482;, HP-UX, and AIX®.

Three of IBM¡¯s most-experienced Linux porting specialists lead you through your entire project: scoping, analysis, recoding, and testing. They present a start-to-finish porting methodology, realistic discussions of key porting tasks, and a questionnaire for assessing the work involved in any new project. You¡¯ll discover what Linux offers in terms of APIs, library functions, versioning, system features, and tools¨Cand the implications for your project. Next, the authors address each individual UNIX® platform in detail, identifying specific porting challenges and best-practice solutions. Coverage includes

¡¤ Understanding the Linux environment: GNU binutils, Java environments, shells, packaging options, and more

¡¤ Uncovering and addressing project unknowns, variables, and other risks

¡¤ Handling specific platform differences: standards, compilers, linkers, versioning, system/library calls, threads, and more

¡¤ Testing and debugging ported applications using the GNU debugger and Linux memory leak and performance tracing tools

¡¤ Contains quick references to UNIX® and Linux APIs, compilers, and linker options, and a discussion of porting issues unique to IBM¡¯s POWER& 8482; architecture

Whether you need a start-to-finish guide or a concise reference, you¡¯ll find this book an indispensable resource for all your UNIX®-to-Linux porting projects.
