How to convert a linux executable file (binary) to windows exe file?

Question

Is there any way to convert a Linux binary file to windows exe file? For example if in Linux create a very simple binary file like this:

echo "main(){int i; i=i+1;}" >> main.c

gcc main.c -o main

Is there any way to convert main binary file to a windows exe file?

Answer 1

You can not convert a linux executeable into a windows executeable. But you can compile the source with cross-compiler.

E.g: MinGw32

if you are in ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install mingw32
i586-mingw32msvc-cc main.c -o main.exe
