I'm looking for a free C++ library that can load .xls files in both Windows and Linux. If I had to make a choice, Linux would be the bare minimum.

I've tried LibXL, but got this amazing error:

"can't read more cells in trial version"

So now I'm on the hunt for a free version :), unfortunately xlsLib doesn't provide the ability to load existing .xls files.

Thanks

We have had success with: ExcelFormat

This looks promising for .xslx files: https://github.com/tfussell/xlnt

Please take a look at XLSX I/O, which is a C library released under MIT license for both reading and writing .xlsx files from C/C++.

It's cross platform and specifically designed to allow streaming a lot of data to and from .xslx files with low memory footprint.

Only depends on expat and libzip. Tested on Windows (MinGW), Linux and OS X.
