I kinda' broke my windows install yesterday, so until I fix it, I'm using knoppix, but the program I was working on uses alot of console functions from <windows.h>, like SetConsoleTextAttribute, and SetConsoleCursorPosition. How can I use these in knoppix?

Bonus question!- Is there a site somewhere like msdn, but for linux?

Thanks! ^_^

i know this topic is kinda old, but i haven't checked this section in a while.

from my understanding the only acces you have to the kernel is through the c library, and through asm interrupts. but since interrupts arent guaranteed to stay the same from each version then you are kind of stuck with the c library.

but this is what i think, not to sure. i'm probably way off ;)

ioctl :badboy:

for basic console things I redirect you to the GNU C Library http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/

and ncurses

thats what I know , maybe there's more

woah, after a couple of days with no reply I forgot about this topic, lol :P . I've fixed my computer since then, but I'm gonna definately take a look at those links. Nothing wrong with learning something new ;)
