cross compilation

Hi everyone,

I would like to know a way to produce a .EXE file compiling with gcc
from within a Linux machine.

Is it just a flag question or do I need any specific library?

Thank you in advance for your kind reply.

No, you need to compile gcc as a cross compiler. It's not a easy task
and this is not the group to ask help with it. Try gnu.gcc.help or
perhaps a Linux newsgroup. IIRC there are a fair number of tutorials
and howtos on the Net on this subject. Use Google to find them.

It's quite possible that the OP's Linux distribution will package tools
for cross-compilation, which should make things much easier. For
example, Debian has mingw32, mingw32-binutils and mingw32-runtime
packages, so that "those who still really need to can now build windows
executables from the comfort of Debian."

I run a Debian. That's what I was wishing to hear.
I will apt-get them as soon as I can.
