cross-platform compiling ????

[D]

since FreeBasic is cross-platform so is it possible to compile on linux, exe for windows????.....

I dont think so, as all the .dlls are different and I think the compilers are compatible but not identical. Otherwise it should be possible to compile everything which is for example in C on all platforms that use C.

The Code can be compileable without changes, if you dont use special Windows or Linux - features.

With kdevelop on Linux, you can cross compile C(++) code for Windows, but it requires you to have a fake Windows install with MinGW on WINE. I don't know if that's the simplest/preferred way, but I am pretty sure the same thing would work with FreeBASIC.

If you are writing for windows, and you don't have a copy of windows yourself to compile/debug it with, something is wrong ..

Send it to someone who has windows to compile it for you, even if you compile a windows version in linux you can't (legitimately) test it, and that is bad qa.

Unless someone makes an alternative package, there's no cross-compilation.

The GNU linker would have to generate the executables in the destination platform format, i dunno if there's a version of LD for Linux that can generate DJGPP's COFF exe's for example, no linux->dos would be possible then -- i doubt anyone would want that, anyways :P
