What is the best platform/IDE to move a windows CVI application across to run on Linux?

[Murray]

I have an existing Labwindow/CVI application that needs to have some new improvements and then to required to run under Linux. As CVI linux version is still not available, what would you all recommend.  Use labview for linux? Kylix seems to be no longer supported.

I dont use any NI-DAQ calls, just a few calls to hardware addresses where I use a provided C routine to grab some data. The main requirement is TCP/socket calls and a nice GUI.

I would appreciate your experiences.

Hello everyone,

In an attempt to try to catch everyone who might have a LabWindows/CVI and Linux or Real-Time interest, I'm going to repost this information in this thread as well. I know this thread has been going on for a few years now, but I wanted to update whoever is interested in the latest LabWindows/CVI modules that we've released to try to address your multiplatform support needs:

So we now have a Real-Time Module, which allows you to develop LabWindows/CVI apps on a Windows machine and run on a real-time PXI or PC target.

Also, to partly address the main subject of this thread, in August, we release the Run-Time Module for Linux, which similarly allows you to develop on a Windows machine as you always have with CVI, and then run your application on multiple Linux distributions.

That's a brief overview of the latest modules, but if you want more information on what hardware is supported and also a more in-depth discussion on the module, take a look at the following resources:

Thanks.
