Has anyone compiled win32 binaries under nix? If so, what compiler?

I'd prefer compiling win32 binarys on a *nix too. Firstly, I don't want to buy a M$ compiler for thousands of dollars, secondly I'm used to use a compiler on a *nix.
I think MinGW is just what you are looking for.

You don't have to spend "thousands of dollars" for a compiler. Try googling for Visual C++ toolkit.

If I recall correctly, you don't even need to pay "thousands of dollars" for Visual Studio, only a couple hundred

And if I recall correctly this wasn't the thread's topic...

Why pay even $1 if you can do it for free?

Thought I would give this "Visual C++ 2003 Toolkit" a shot, same thing as Visual C++.

Code: Select all

support.c
src\support.c(2404) : error C2065: 'WSASYSCALLFAILURE' : undeclared identifier
src\support.c(2404) : error C2099: initializer is not a constant
src\support.c(2404) : warning C4047: 'initializing' : 'int' differs in levels of
 indirection from 'unsigned char [20]'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
