Is there any IDE in Linux that can produce easily Windows executable from Linux?.(I know that Java is almost cross-platform but I prefer C++)
Can SQL Server 2000 run on Linux?

Possibly this one:

Is there an IDE in Windows for producing Macintosh binaries? No.
Same for Linux producing Windows binaries. Well, actually you could maybe do that with Wine.

Java IS cross-platform! Some unofficial extensions to it are not so much, but it's your choice to use them or not.

SQL Server is a Windows program. It may run under Wine, but I wouldn't bet on it. Besides, you'd better run MySQL or PostgreSQL, or if you're into very serious business: Oracle on Linux.

If you're after interoperability, but you don't want to use the JVM, I suggest you use Mono, the free software .NET implementation that run on both Windows and Linux.

Yves.

Try to run a program that was made on Windows XP with Java 1.5 onto a
machine that runs Linux and Java 1.4 and if runs tell how you did it?
Mono is the same as Java.

From what I understand you cannot totally throw Windows. If you are a
software engineer and you want to use Rational Rose, Microsoft Visual Studio and SQL Server then there is nothing that Linux can do.

Linux is for those who are hackers or those that want a computer just to connect to Internet or write texts.This IS the only truth.

Huh? Try running a program made with Java 1.5 in Windows in another Windows machine running Java 1.4. Depending how you've programmed it, it won't work, especially if you made use of Java exclusive features as enhanced loops.

Basically you lack knowledge of how Java works, how Linux works and your totally unconnected reply bashing Linux and not at least thanking peoples trying to help you (as bigrigdriver), added to your limited amount of posts makes you sound like a complete troll.

If you REALLY want to do it - you could always load up a virtual machine of winderz inside of linux, but I don't know if that will help much.

I think that installing Bloodshed under Wine would be your best option otherwise.
Generally executables are written for the operating system they are compiled for. I think it is also possible to execute c++ code from within java - but I haven't learned how to do that yet.

mitsulas,

That's not true. Linux can do much much more than you say.
If you said that it's mean that you only use Linux for connect to internet, write texts and be hacker (whatever you say).

Do not so fast judge something if you dont really get to it.

mitsulas,

This is not the forum for looking for information on cross-compilation. Go google, and you will soon find the enormous amount of effort that has gone into achieving this aim. But do not expect to be able to produce native Windows code using native Windows tools on a Linux box.

What makes you so certain that no Mac to Windows or Linux to Windows cross compiler exists that can be used with an IDE?

Since GCC can be set up as a cross compiler, it should be theoretically possible (though it may be a long and difficult job) to set up any IDE that can act as front end to GCC to cross compile. There's a bit about cross compiling at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_compiler.

Since it's a long time since this was posted I don't know if the original poster is still interested, but this thread will probably get more attention if it were moved to the programming board.

I think you can use MinGW on Linux to cross-compile for Windows. And use the Code::Blocks IDE. Google for it.

After using linux for doing my bachelor and msc thesis on computer science I understand that I misjudged linux. So I want to apologize for that.

Technically Java isn't cross platform. It IS a platform.
