I need to create a dialog based GUI using VC++/MFC. I am sure it will work with windows OS, but will it work on Linux/Unix or other OS other than windows?
Is QT an alternative good option?
An application written using MFC classes would most probably not work on Linux or Unix, sourcecode-wise. You would have to reimplement most of MFC using X Windows. Qt is a good alternative when the sourcecode has to be used on multiple platforms, e.g. Windows and Linux.
If you just want to run a compiled .exe on Linux, there’s the Wine project on Linux that lets you run the application using a “translation layer” that runs on Linux.
