ok, now my exams are over and i want to use the time to port my game solar*conflict from visual basic to purebasic.
additionally, i want it to run on windows AND linux.

the game uses 3d sprites for rotating and zooming. i know the sprite3d-library is not yet implemented in pb3.92 for linux.

can any of you guys give me a hint what i should use? opengl? is there a lib that supports both linux and windows opengl calls for pb?

Using OpenGL will probably work, but you couldn't mix it with PB sprite lib as SDL doesn't allow that.

does sdl have a builtin support for rotating and zooming sprites?

no, there is some libraries which does that in software, but even if they are optimized, it won't be very fast..
