Data Can I make application for AIX while working on Linux Box
Hi all,

I had a large application created using Visual C++. I ported that application using WINE to the Linux platform (ofcourse x86). Now I have to port the same application to AIX which runs over IBM mainframe. I dont have mainframe available but it is required for me to port my application to AIX. Now I need to ask that is there any Cross Compiler that may compile and generate AIX based binary while I am on my Linux box or there is any environment or simulator that I may install on my Linux or Windows box which simulates as it is AIX and thus I can have development of AIX while I am not working on AIX.
If I am not clear at any point please let me know

Regards,

Alas there is no such thing. If you do not need the newest version of AIX for your application you might consider buying an (older) AIX machine second-hand. There are regularly smaller machines offered which won't cost you an arm and a leg.

The OS license is usually sold with the machine but you would still need the xlC compiler from IBM to build for the AIX platform. There is a gcc compiler for AIX available but to build reliable software it is usually better to rely on the vendors "official" compiler.

I hope this helps.
