Create a Windows executable with Winelib?

Post by Bloomer »

Hello everybody,

Is it possible to somehow use Wine (or Winelib) to produce a binary that can be executed by Windows? My operating system for development is GNU/Linux, but the question is also applicable for people programming under Android or macOS.

It would be nice to be able to port my program to Windows without having to install or use Windows myself, because I don't like it. The programming language I use is standard C99.

You can read more on winelib here: https://wiki.winehq.org/Winelib_User's_Guide

I'm not certain but I don't think that's what you're looking for if you just want to build a windows binary. There is mingw for that and in fact wine uses that to build its PE parts.

Indeed, mingw is what I was looking for. Thank you.
