Porting Windows program to BSD

[drhowarddrfine]

I have an open source Windows program I would like to port to
FreeBSD. I tried compiling it 'as is' and, so far, it only trips up
on MS/Windows definitions, such as 'ulong'. Is there a cross-check
list to find equivalent typedefs, defines, etc. between gcc and
Windows stuff? Is there a software 'converter' of sorts, too?

Surely you can just use sizeof and work it out for yourself.

How about the win32api include files for Windows gcc?

Ah, yes, Stephen. I forgot all about that. Thanks.

In addition, there is the Porter's Handbook which I also forgot about
(and even keep a copy on this computer; jeez).
