      Notepad++ uses the native Win32 API, so it is not compatible with anything not Windows.

      Short answer: use a Windows emulator, there is Wine on Linux.

      Long answer: find a nice GUI toolkit, and turn 250 different API calls and 700-800 SendMessage() calls into what this toolkit understands. Then launch he compiler and scratch yur hed. Repeat process for each toolkit you wish to be compatible with.
