Abstract:  

Due to large versitality, UNIX operating systems are widely applied, but even more useful applications are written for Windows. That is why a lot of companies are porting applications from the Windows operating systems to UNIX. That is a complex process, since Windows and UNIX operating systems have many differences. This diploma work introduces advices and suggestions on how to approach porting of software. The porting of code written in the C++ programming language is specially emphasised. Essential problems and solutions are exemplified by the example of porting HP E-speak SMART Plug-in software.
