Help: MFC Cross compiler...

Hello!

I am developing a MFC application which is an OLE server. I am using the =
classes like COleServerDoc, COleServerItem etc. I am half way through =
the development and now I come to know that the same application has to =
be ported to Mac Think C classes. There is a cross compiler which comes =
along with MFC, VC++ which costs about $2000. Even if I afford to buy =
that cross compiler, will I be able to port the same application code to =
that compiler and cross compile it?=20

Or, to put this question in a MFC specific way, HOW PORTABLE ARE THE MFC =
OLE SUPPORT CLASSES TO MAC??

Cheers,
Prakash,

[Moderator's note: Several people wrote in responding that the
Mac cross compiler is now $199. I recall that this was announced
in PC Week or MacWeek last month.]

OLE is supported by the Mac edition of Visual C++, although there may be 
some differences. I have not used it yet, so I can't give you a complete 
overview of those differences. Microsoft's Visual C++/Mac Tip of the Week 
this week outlines the differences between Win32 OLE and WLM (Windows 
Library for Macintosh) OLE; see 
http://www.microsoft.com/visualc/mac/totw/totw4.htm for that article.

Good luck,

I'm in the process of porting the other way - TCL to MFC and can answer the
first question.

Although both use a doc-view architecture, there are few similarities
between TCL and MFC in the sense of being able to do a direct port. I'm
essentially doing a line by line re-write of everything involving the
operating system and the interface (which is most of my application). The
messaging system is completely different and views and docs are created
very differently (no doc-templates).

My suggestion would be to avoid TCL and use the MFC cross compiler.
