can i run linux code on windows

[sachin dooble]

is there any method where i can run my linux code that is all the a.out
i made on linux to run on windows.
plz tell me the way.

[agarwal.prateek]

Yes you can. You have to recompile the source. Linux executables cannot
be executed in windows. Using libraries and some changes one can
recompile the source

If your 'code' is plain C and you have a compiler for Microsoft, you should
have no problems compiling the code and running it.

If all you have is the binary, you're SOL.

yes That is the hardest way arround. If you know how windows executes
and how linux executes then you can try to interprete the linux
executable(ELF) and make it into windows executable(PE). but there will
be issues for runtime library support, so what you will you do???

Moreover why you are interested to demote linux executables :(

Sachin, I don't think you can simply run your a.out on windows.
Assuming its a C-code all you need to do is to recompile it on windows
platform and execute it. C is not like JAVA where you can run your java
class file on any platform.

No way. BTW, this is not a C-question.

To be back to C, portability exists, but at source level. The code must
be recompiled according to the target.

This's OT. Anyway, generally, the answer is no. But if you have some spare
$$$, get VMWare or Virtual PC. If you don't have, get Bochs. Those are
virtual machines that work under windows and inside them you can install and
run any x86 OS.

You'll need something like VMWare. AFAIK, there's no way to make a
Linux executable run under Windows natively.

But since this is comp.lang.c, I assume you have source code in c. So
get a windows compiler and re-compile it. mingw is a nice free windows
version of gcc.

But unless the source code is extremely portable, it probably won't
compile under both Windows and Linux.

Strange, almost everything I have that's written in C will. C++
code is a different story, particularly if it's GUI code.

You could try colinux (at colinux.com). It runs Linux as a task under
Windows. Not exactly what you were asking, but it does let you run
your Linux code under Windows (under Linux), which is kinda/sorta the
same thing, maybe/almost?

First, this is off-topic,

Second, you should try colinux.org unless you're interested in Lau Gar

Whoops! Yes, I've accidentally been there a couple or three times

The answer is "maybe" A lot of it should be portable between Linux and
Windows. However it depends on the library calls you make. Also it wil
depend on weather it is command line to talking to a GUI.

Why You guys say no way??? if Wine can run Windoze code under linux A
similar system can be developed to run Linux Codes under Windows.
Well it might be Extreamly difficult but I think it is Possible.

Wine requires that the code be recompiled with the Wine libraries.
Most people would not count that as having the "executable" run "natively".

No it does not. Or at least, not always. I know this having run SW I
only had Windows binaries for such as Agent from Forte Inc.

The thing is, apart running x86 code on x86 CPU (be this code linux
executable or linux -- doesn't matter) one needs to provide this code with
the expected environment which this code needs. Hence, although it's all
possible to run 90% of code natively (to the degree x86 CPU allows that
since it wasn't designed with the emulation in mind), the rest has to be
mimicked anyway. And it's a good question whether linux/windows emulation is
easier then emulation of the entire x86 PC. :) Possible != available (not
now, at least :).

If you want to do it you do it. But not in comp.lang.c where it is off
topic (a comp.os.* group would seem appropriate, possibly something
with Windows in the name). "Extremely difficult" means "costs a lot of
time and/or money", so unless there is an actual demand for it no one is
going to bother to write it (and if only one person wants it and they
don't want to write it themself they'll have to pay someone to write it
for them -- my rates start at around GBP 40 per hour (plus VAT))...
