Can I access a Windows DLL directly from Linux code?

Hi all!

I'm thinking about doing some development on a music player in X (coded in Qt to be precise).

Anyways: I found this totally cool Windows DLL, which holds some nice visualization code that I want to use. (I know the actual interface that the DLL implements.)

This leads me to my question: Can I execute code from this DLL directly from my Qt application (assuming that the DLL matches my current CPU instruction set (i386))?

Any ideas?

Cheers,

silverjam; do a little more research with development and configuration. not sure whether they are compatible.

Nope, you will have to rebuild the lib as a .so
