As far as I am aware MFC is only available on Windows, so you would need to rewrite your application completely. If you want portable code then you should consider using Java.

Then I guess you need to read its documentation.

As others said, you cannot use MFC on Mac OSX.

To do what you want, you can :

- Use a multiplatform UI toolkit (Qt,Java, ... )

- If your application is "small", you can just learn the OSX language (objective-C, ...) and split your application into UI part and functional part; the functional part would be platform independant, and you will need to implement only the UI part for different platforms.

MFC? Just forget it. No, you cannot.

As Richard MacCutchan says, you have to write a new application. If you put too much investment in MFC, this is a lesson for you: you should thoroughly separate UI from other aspects of your product. Also, if you developed on .NET, a lot of code could be used on Mac OS X or Linux, as well as many other platforms, even without recompilation, through Mono.

How anyone may know "now what"? If you spent too much time on it, it was your mistake. Either go back to Windows (and don't expect bright prospects with your MFC asserts), or live a new life in the field of different systems or in the multiplatform development. MFC is not an option. Life is life. We make mistakes, we pay for them, learn from them.

Good luck,
