Can i compile a windows application under linux?

Question

i want to use linux, but my internship requires me to develop windows programs. is it possible to develop / compile windows programs under linux? distro does not matter.

Answer 1

Depending on which distro you're using you can install a Windows emulator eg. WINE. This will allow you to execute Windows programs.

You can then install the necessary Windows based compiler and develop your programs in Linux.

To compile, simply run the compiler using the Windows Emulator and run your programs using the same emulator.

Hope this helps in some way.

Answer 2

Yes,either write program in Python or Java,those would be easiest ways as their crossover languages.Also when you program in anouther laungauge you should keep in mind its for windows apps,and you will need to be able to test on a windows based comp.

I suggest Ubuntu btw,they have alot of tools to assist in learning.
