    dos/win32 in linux

    is there a way to compile code so that i creates win32 or dos executables... that can then be either transfered to a windows computer or run in wine?

    This is kind of a bass ackwards way of doing it, but you could try and compile it via mingw using wine?
    If any part of my post is incorrect, please correct me.

    if you set up the app and makefile for it, you can build a windows gui app with gcc by doing a cross-compile.
