    I can't "just" compile it.
    I would need to learn how to use the linux threading libraries first.

    To compile for Linux without any code modification, I'd have to disable multi-threading... which pretty much defeats the purpose of the program.

    Judging by the examples I found on how the linux "pthread" library is used, it should be a simple drop-in replacement for the Windows threading library...
    But I don't have a machine with linux to try it, nor do I have the time.


    As for cell processors... It's a different type of processor so much of the program would have to be rewritten and re-optimized to be efficient.
