I have two headless servers I am writing code for, and a Windows box networked with them.

I want to compile my code within an IDE on the Windows box (eclipse most likely) and run the compiled binarys on the Linux boxes.

Will this work?
Using Cygwin (or MinGW)?
Thoughts?

Cheers, Ian

Probably not possible at the moment.

I know the opposite, i.e. how to compile for Windows under Linux, and part of the process is having Windows-specific headers and runtime, which do exist for the compile under Linux, run under Windows tools.

I.e. if you want to do it the other way round, you'll need to find/create Linux-specific headers and runtime (glibc) under Windows.

...

Look up "colinux" - it's Linux running inside Windows. Maybe using it you'll be able achieve your goal, though the prerequisites (native-Linux-specific headers + runtime) still have to be satisfied.

Do you really want to do the compiling on the windows box.

Why not ssh from the windows box onto a linux server and do the coding/compiling on the
OS where it will be running.

You can run something like 'putty' to get ssh client on the windows box.
Run something like 'xming' on the windows box to allow you to open X edit windows etc.
Both these are free software.

Just an alternative suggestion which I think would be easier. (We do this all the time)
