application on Linux targetting windows ?

Hello,

Install wine and then install Windows version of TheIDE. Everything should work out of the box. You can even debug your Windows application Smile

I tried to use MinGW on Linux several years ago but met a problem with one of the tools (do not remember exactly which one). Probably, the problem is fixed now. It is easy to try. Smile

You just need to install MinGW and create a new build method Smile

Only unfortunate issue there is that mingw still has inefficient TLS implementation. In U++, that has significant impact on importance as 'correct' TLS implementation is the base of memory allocator..
