I have a question regarding a couple different biometric SDK's that

for scanning fingerprints, storing them in a certain way, and

for Windows and UNIX. If I got the source code for the UNIX API's/
SDK's
would it be possible to compile them (via Fink) and be able to utilize
them
within XCode so that I can implement them into my app? I thought maybe
whatever language the SDK's are coded in (plain C I believe) might
screw up the possibility to compile on a Mac but then again if it
works
under UNIX it can work under OS X (from the source), is my
understanding.
If the "SDK" is available for some versions of Unix it is likely that
you can get it to compile on Mac OS X but how much work that may take
is unknown without more information about the "SDK" in question.
If you are looking to do this work yourself start by review the
following...

PortingUnix/index.html>
This may come as a surprise but a lot of Mac OS X is written in plain
old C. :)
