tchar.h on linux
You may find this article to be useful. In particular, near the end they discuss a bit about using TCHAR and dealing with Windows code.
The article summarization is:
TCHAR will be translated into a wide character data type when compiling this code with the GNU C Compiler (most portable libraries define TCHAR in their headers and refer to wchar_t). This, in fact, was how I turned my C++ program into an anagram generator: I used standard C++ strings filled with UTF-8 and fed the data with pointers casted to wchar_t to library functions. UTF-8 data interpreted as UTF-32 equals garbage (but it is tremendously useful for obfuscation of data and bugs).
To build my Windows centric source I was able to use the tchar.h file from Cygwin's found in the cygwin\usr\include\w32api folder.
I am actually building using Android NDK.For my purposes I made a copy of tchar.h and patched it.
//#include <crtdefs.h>#define _CRTIMP//#define _strninc(_pc,_sz) (((_pc)+(_sz)))// _CRTIMP size_t __cdecl __strncnt(const char *_Str,size_t _Cnt);
