Hi all,

I have a Windows Qt app containing windows.h and winver.h header files,also data types such as DWORD ,dwHandle etc.While compiling it in Linux ,its giving errors..So how can i get rid of these errors........

Installing Winelib wil solve the issues,by providing windows environment?Could anyone plz help me in this regard?

Regards,

Use pimpl and/or disable unnecessary headers in the *. pro file. See also the source itself Qt4.

Are you able to use QT specific types rather than DWORD (qint32, for example).

The best way is to rewrite your Windows specific part of code in a platform independent way. If your code is using WinAPI intensively then compile your app under windows and run it using Wine on linux.
