What kind of program is it ? Was it planned to be cross-platform ? If no, then as far as I know you can't do that. But it all depends of the program itself. If it is a simple console application that doesn't use any linux API, then it is cross-platfrom. If it is a program that display a GUI for instance using the Linux API, then it won't work.

it's been a while since i've used it, but i think that if you want to run the program on XP, cygwin is the way to go. but, if you want to compile the program on XP to run on a Linux machine, the process is very complicated - IIRC, you have to rebuild all the tools (gc, the linker, the libraries, maybe even the kernel) first. a few years ago, i needed to build an EXE that could run on a specific Linux distribution, and i went down they cygwin path for a few days, trying to get it to work; but it quickly became far too much hassle. i ended up spending a couple hundred $ to buy a cheap PC, installed the Linux distribution on it and built the EXE there. then i moved the EXE to the target computer, and got on with my life.

cygwin is great. I was using to compile a 3d game. For the past two days i was sitting on this. The only problem is initial setting up of the libraries and headers and then too download the cygwin packages you require. Regards
