Which software use for create Platform Independent Application?
One example is programs written in the Java programmig language.
Which software use for create Platform Independent Application?
You can make almost any programming language mostly portable, by considering such standards as POSIX, but if your software requires a GUI, then you really are limited to Java. However, depending on the requirements of you application, it may still be necessary to make some platform specific parts (e.g. some hardware related stuff) via JNI.
Use JDK to develop platform independent applications using JAVA.
Being a C/C++ programmer, I use MinGW with platform independent API's for windows. Then they are also compilable on linux or mac when you compile them with gcc. GTK2, wxWindows, sdl, ... are a few that come right off my mind.
CodeBlocks is the best IDE since it is also cross-compatable, both in it's code, and in it's ability to compile the same projects (pending the same libraries are installed : )
Then if distributing your project as software, you can have separately compiled programs for their OS, and it will run faster, use less memory, and older computers/computers bloated with lots of software running can still run your program.

Depending on your goal, a script language like python, perl or ruby could do the job too.
You can find more information on Cross-Platform Programming on Wikipedia.

If you use Java you don't even have to (re)compile anymore; Sun's slogan is
"compile once, run everywhere". I personally prefer: "compile once, debug everywhere".

Jos ;-)

Bear with me, but I've been reading a lot about how the .NET languages
are platform independent, and I assume this means a program written in
C# can be run on a Unix or Mac machine. If this assumption is wrong,
then nevermind! :)
But if it's true, what will be necessary to run these programs on a Mac,
for example? I know they would need an equivalent to the .NET Framework,
but does something like this exist yet, or is the "platform...

I have read that 'C' is platform-independent and portable. I can'tsee

Hello,
I am using the Python DB API for access to MySQL. But it is not
platform-independent - I need a module not included in Python by
default - python-mysql, and it uses a compiled binary _mysql.so. So it
is not platform-independent because for each web-server on different
platform, I would have to download it and extra compile it specifically
for that platform. Do you know of any Python solution for MySQL access
that is 100%...

I would like to find out how I can launch an independent Python
program from existing one in a cross-platform way. The result I am
after is that a new terminal window should open (for io independent of
the original script).
The following seems to work correctly under Ubuntu and Windows ... but
I haven't been able to find a way to make it work under Mac OS.

Hi everyone,
My Python program needs reliably detect which Operating System its
being run on, infact it even needs to know which distribution of say
Linux its running on. The reason being its a GTK application that
needs to adapt itself to be a Hildon application if run on devices
like the N800.
I have been searching around for an answer to this, and did find some
messages on a lists that suggested the use of sys.platform to detect

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
