Wrong way. You should not try to convert all your declares to Linux
dependend declares. Instead you should start and use the REALbasic
cl***** and commands.

You will not need FindFirstFile and the equalivalent Linux API if you
use the folderitem class.

SendMessage is a very Windows specific thing which you can use in
REALbasic if you use a declare and wrap it in #if lines.

#if targetwin32
// windows only code
#elseif targetlinux
// linux only code
#endif
