Linux

Does anyone here know of any good windows c++ compiler for linux? so that I can compile c++ programs in Linux (this is very possible!). Doesnt mather if it is a real windows compiler that works in wine or if its a compiler written for linux but compiles windows binaries

from what I understand a gcc unix\/linux compiler and a windows compiler are not really going to affect the outcome of your programm that much its the portability with which you are writing the programm so a linux compiler is better for linux and all programms if programmed correctly should work on any compiler.. the key words are "programm portability"... but that is just something that i have read over and over in several c language books that deal with windows and linux and other systems... i haven't actually tried this myself yet.. since i have not seen the need to.. but from what I have read and heard if the code is good it will work on any compiler guarnteed..!

This site might be a good place to learn about compilers, and find a compiler if the GNU GCC compilers included in GNU/Linux does not suit your needs.

If you do not have a GNU/Linux system, you could always use Cygwin on Windows for compiling the software.

oops, I am so sorry!
ofcourse what I meant was that I want to compile windows programs in linux, to give to those hwo have not yet ported to linux

This might be more work than you want, not all apps will be easy to just compile and make work on Windows. You will have to include the necessary libraries, and this might be difficult as well, if your planning to build programs which make use of certain toolkits, such as QT, GTK...etc.
For the more simple commandline apps, this should not be as large a task.
Some software compiled on GNU/Linux systems which are able to be run on Windows sometimes include the cygwin.dll.

You will probably need to investigate this more, which will be as indepth as the programs your planning to build. You should look into the gnu gcc and related man pages and website for starters.
