UNIX Porting

Porting software is the process of translating a software program from one operating system to another which includes transferring the software program in question from one programming language to another.

MKS Toolkit assists in migrating (porting) software from UNIX/Linux operating systems to Windows operating systems. The basic porting process includes:

  • Compiling and linking.
  • Gaining access to the source code on Windows.
  • Examining files for porting issues.
  • Debugging.
  • Porting scripts.
  • Fixing linkage issues.
  • Integrating with Windows.
  • Distributing the application.
