Is it Possible to Program Linux on a Windows Environment?

Linux is written in C(++/#) language, so yes you could write programs on a windows machine , but you need a Linux environment to test it.

I think your asking if there is a way to write programs using a gui or graphical user interface. There are only a few software packages that let you create programs by dragging and dropping objects and drawing links. They are very limited, and i don't know of any that create Linux programs. I don't remember the names of any of them. You can google for "graphical programming compilers." What are you trying to accomplish? I'm well versed in both windows and Linux environments and know several languages including Java, C, C++, Perl, Fortran, Fourth, and others... Feel free to direct message me here!

Hello men,

Thank you for your answers. The two received are wright, but the one of DogOwar is the closest of what I am searching for. It is because I need some electronic platform which run only Linux and are motorised by Microchip PIC processors. So I want to use these platforms, because a lot of softwares had already been written on it, and I want to assemble these softwares inside mine which includes some GUI's (written in Delphi 3, to be rewritten in C++ under Windows).

So the scheme is the folllowing:

Some existing GUI's written under Windows have to include some or any softwares written under Linux, in order to run under Windows or Linux (if Windows does'nt work)

So the question is:

Is it possible to run some Linux softwares under Windows and be MODIFIED under Windows, in order to control some PIC controllers which run under Linux???

Thank you to unpick the noodles plate...

You don't have to run your controlling software on Linux just because the pics were programmed under Linux. Your controller can be a native widows application! It's just got to communicate in the same protocol.

Maybe Lindows, Lindows is supposed to be able to bridge the gap I thought.

Hello men,

What I have may be forget to say is that PIC controllers, programmed under Linux, have specifical Linux commands, which can't be reproduced under Win (Win XP up to 7 - I don't know Win 8 and 9. Preferably Win XP) It is not a question of C++ (or C#) and could not validated under Windows (unless using a cross compiler)

So, hundred dollars question:

What is the C++, or C# cross compiler, running under XP, which could produce a soft validated under XP for syntax and validated under Linux embedded for operation, preferably on the same machine (evidently, XP runs on its partition and Linux on another one), in order to control a autonome platform running on Linux embedded, may be relied to Windows???

Thank you to unpick the noodles plate.

PIC programs are PIC programs. It doesn't matter what environment was used to program them. Anything that can be IO'd by Linux can be IO'd by Windows. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that your trying to control a CNC device like a lathe using Linux CNC. If this is the case, then you are screwed for using windows at all! The PC you run Linux CNC on must be a Linux environment. Not only that, it must be one of the "real time" Linux versions. This cannot be run under Lindows or as a window via Ubuntu. Timing is critical so the OS absolutely must know every cycle used and be able to respond in real time to requests from the CNC! I hope this helps, it's probably not what you want to hear though!
