An se endiaferei na kaneis kati cross-platform proteino na prospathiseis na to 
kaneis me thn eksis seira:

a) Se python (+qt an theleis gui)

b) Se C/C++ xrisimopoiontas etoimes lyseis gia to thema toy cross-platform 
(p.x. Qt), akomi kai an den exeis gui

c) Se C/C++ me xrisi autoconf+automake kai libtool.

Ta problimata poy exeis me th bibliothiki lynontai me to libtool eno me to 
autoconf lyneis sxetika eykola ta ypoloipa themata (p.x. strdup). Eilikrina 
omos, an den ksereis ti einai ta msys/mingw/libkoko.la klp tote tha xreiasteis 
arketh prospatheia.

Kata 99% to thema toy portability aksizei na to antimetopiseis xrisimopoiontas 
mia ypsiloteroy epipedoy, out-of-the-box-portable glossa kai antistoixa 
portable bibliothikes. Diaforetika kindineveis na skaloseis se apla themata 
opos thn strdup ala kai se pio polyploka opos to networking, ta threads, tis 
dystropies ton compilers, to IPC, tis diafores sta semantics (file locking?) 
kai (isos to xeirotero - ftoy kako) ta cross-platform bugs ton bibliothikon.
