Developing COM components on Linux using CDT [message #1715795]

Hi..

Am about to start a coding assignment which involve developing modules based on COM (Component Object Model) on an Linux box most likely UBUNTU 14.

I have done similar work on Windows earlier (using Visual studio 2012) but not sure if this can be accomplished on Linux machine using CDT.

From CDT tutorials I can't see any straight away project template that is meant for ATL COM support.

Please suggest if the above combination can work i.e. Linux + ATL COM + Eclipse CDT

Kind regards..

I would think the real question is how do you do COM (a Windows protocol) under Linux? Doing so using Eclipse would be the second question.

A search for: "COM (Component Object Model) on a Linux box" got:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3063321/is-there-an-equivalent-to-com-on-nix-systems-if-not-what-was-the-nix-approa
A search for "atl com linux" turned up: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16143110/how-can-i-use-com-atl-project-in-linux

So, how much functionality do you need and how much should it emulate COM?
Have you considered using DBUS?

Maybe running something like XPCOM under Wine or running a program in a virtual box running Windows?

EDIT:
IBM has a COM interface that works under UNIX, Linux, Windows:

Something tells me it's not free.
