Linux Windows API?
-
I've read and don't get it. Does linux use and support windows API? I'm just cureous if it win32::api library can also be used on linux OS.

Linux doesn't use or support the Windows API. But there is Wine - I'm not sure however how much or any of the Win32:API works under Wine. One can only try and see.

It wouldn't be Linux itself, but there is an optional compatibility layer "Wine" that would theoretically run Windows programs on top of any Unix(Linux/BSD/Mac) exactlythe same way like on Windows (but the developers need to do reverse-engineering and it won't ever be complete)
I have not yet seen the Win32:API in SketchUp/Wine working. I had to hack it out of some scripts that don't have fallbacks.
I wish it will work soon because I liked to use window settings to substitute the classic menu.
