Greetings:

Just wondering if I could compile Linux programs on Windows. I don't have a Linux system, but I wish to make Linux programs, and I can't seem to find a way to do so.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Well, you cannot usually even make linux programs that run an all linuxes out there. There is no such thing as "standard linux executable".

U++ is an exception as it is able to produce binary that is as much self-contained that it runs on most system without recompiling.

There at the moment is no way how to compile Linux programs on Win32 (curiously, it seems to be possible to do the opposite).

there are some options to that.

You can try using cygwin to install an *unix* enviroment in your windows box (http://www.cygwin.com/)
You can install a linux distribution using vmplayer or use some vmplayer image of a linux distro.

I think there may be more, but these are OSS solutions i think, good luck.
