Hello,
this is another question regarding a server application, which is
supposed to serve many clients simultaneously.
In XCode, I can start a project of type 'Standard Tool' or 'C++ Tool'.
Not sure about the latter, but as to the first - it's in my opinion the
same as a usual program for Linux or Free BSD.
I am curious to know, is it really possible to write a daemon, which
will compile and run on Mac OS X, Linux and Free BSD. I know that there
are many flavors of Mac OS X and especially Linux, but if I take the
most wide-spread ones - say, Jaguar/Panther and ASP/Mandrake/Slackware,
will this work?
If this is possible, what should I avoid? Say, some APIs that are
supported on Linux and unsupported on Mac OS X? What are other caveats
of this? Has someone already done something like this? What positive or
negative experience is there?
Regards,
Igor
