Hey /prog/, I need to know if there is a compiler that will dump .exe's in Linux. There's got to be a way since most great programs were developed on Linux machines but were released for Windows.
If you want to develop for multiple OSes, let's say in C++, you use a multiplattform framework like Qt ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_(toolkit) ). Using that you write your application on a plattform independent level and the framework takes care of the rest. In Qt's case you app would compile on Win, OS X and Linux (amongst others) out of the box.
