Cross-platform way to create win32 services and linux daemons all at once?

[garchbrooks]

Is there any elegant, slick way to avoid having to write the ugly framework for both of these things, or can I get service-like abilities all in one shot on one decent framework?

Found this guy's article. Seems like an ok approach. Are there any more mainstream, well-supported frameworks that do this?

You need Qt. But I cannot recommend TrollTech products after all, because I consider them "way too buggy" (my standards are very high, however).

How about writing for Linux and running on windows within Cygwin?


"What is Cygwin?
Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It consists of two parts:

A DLL (cygwin1.dll) which acts as a Linux API emulation layer providing substantial Linux API functionality.
A collection of tools which provide Linux look and feel."

It's free.
