Hi all
I have to port a project form windows to Mac. The existing code is in
C++ and classes are inherited from MFC library classes. Do I have any
alternative for MFC in MAC OS?
I have gone through some posting on Apple lists and I found that there
are 2 cross-platform tools Power Plant and Code Warrior. Which one is
better and If I want to use any of them then do I need to install them
on Mac system and will I need to modify the code very much? Which type
of application do I need to choose for porting in Mac cocoa or carbon
or something?
Thanks in advance.

I suggest you port your app to use the Qt framework from TrollTech
(http://www.trolltech.com) It is implemented in C++, and the native
layer
on Mac OS X is implemented using Carbon and Cocoa.
You might have to implement some modules in your app differently
depending on target OS, particularly to get native look and feel.
The most important thing with using Qt, is that you will be able to
port your app to any unix dialect that uses X windows, as well.
