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;         


        

Answer 1

There are no means to convert the binary.

Regular ways to go are:

• Recompile for other platform, but this requires the source (and cross-platform support in the source or the used libraries must be available on the other platform as well). cygwin/mingw, for example, can help providing the required support/libraries.

• wine could be used to run Windows binaries on Linux (but not the other way around)
