Hi...
The RPC/XDR libraries are a solution to endian conversion in QNX and
Linux, but not for w$nd$s (even with cygwin installed). Do we know of
an open source library that may offer equivalent api to convert to/from
BE to LE machines? SDL offers this service, but I wonder if there is
something lighter out there... (I have some home-cooked code that does
this, but I would like to have a cleaner solution I suppose). Thanks.
Regards...
Miguel.

Re: endian conversion...
Hi Kris...
XDR works well in QNX, no problem. <gulliver.h> does the tick too in
QNX. My problem is source compatible code for QNX/LINUX/cygwin. The xdr
version of cygwin is broken, and I was wondering if there is an
alternative to XDR that may be platform independent.
Thanks for your help.
Regards...
Miguel.

anything else. However, it's not too hard to roll your own. You've got
the byteswapping routines from gulliver.h. You can test with
int n = 1, bigendian = 0;
bigendian = *(char *)&n == 1
Another potential solution would be to use the htnos() type routines in
the socket library to keep everything in a common format but that's
probably a little to heavyweight.
