No David,
 
It states that low level Valentina Client library is written on C++,
But not in C like in mySQL and Postgre.

But around of this C++ client we have ALL OTHER wrappers to connect
Valentina client to all other languages and IDEs that Valentina support

Valentina C++ client DO NOT depend on (MFC, PowerPlant).
Well, only on Classic and Carbon it use for now GUSI lib.
But this is hidden inside.

David, if you going to use only OS X or , and Valentina client,
Then there is NO Lthread !!!

We also use POSIX API then.

Yes. Of course.

Yes of course.

Actually I believe that port of the current OS X C++ Client
To Linux is easy task -- just create MAKE file and go ahead,
Because Valentina Client depend ONLY on POSIX socket API.

Revolution guys are going try to do this self.
On success they will give us this port of Valentina client.
