Create a library or DLL in Linux and using them on Windows

Question

I'm a Windows developer so I'm new to the Linux environment. I was wondering if anyone had any advice or general articles that could help me build a project on Linux and compile it into a library or DLL for use in a Windows environment.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You could use a cross-compiler, or simply install Windows and the necessary build tools inside a virtual machine (e.g. using VirtualBox).
