A friend of me, is working on a mod for a tournament where I am a co admin off... The problem is... My friend uses Windows. Are there any Windows programs that can ccompile .so's to use on a linux server / box?

Thanks for any reply's

Can no-one help? We're kinda in a hurry

Since no one else will, I guess I'll help.

Instruct your friend in installing Cygwin-X (Win distribution of course)
and running it, should be just like Linux after running. - make sure
you get gcc. If that won't work, God help you in trying that on Dev-C++
(gcc compiler) - get it at http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html

Is that compiler in windows running in linux server?? i don't think so.

Java compiler need to set the environment, gcc for C compiler, i dunno but may be there is a special software for compile java or c.

Btw, whatelse compiler running on linux, i reallly noobs on linux, and osknockout, you seem very good on coding... you should teach me...

I don't think there is such a compiler.
but you can use virtual machine to run linux system under windows.
such as vmware.
then compile the program in virtual machine ,so "in windows".

whay you dont download a live linux cd
and make your friend use it to compile his mod on
their is allot of linux live cd on the internet
and that is the easist way of doing this
ansted of traying to use linux under widows
and if you friend dont play computer games allot (windows computer games)
then i bite he will became linux user

There is a cross compiler for Windows (to compile Windows programs from Linux), but I don't think the reverse exist. People can just install a Linux when needed, while for Windows it is not always possible without more budget.

However it can still be made relatively easy if someone knows how to configure and recompile GCC. But I don't think a lot of people will support the idea of this unnecessary workload (for maintenance).
