If you are on a recent Windows version your easiest option is probably to use WSL and use native compilation on Linux. second easiest is likely to set up a VM to run Linux in (that might actually be easier than WSL if you already have some virtualisation environment set up for something else, but you said you were on Windows). > Cygwin is a cross compiler which offers POSIX environment. No, Cygwin is a user-space layer on top of Windows that provides a POSIX environment for applications that target Cygwin (i.e. Cygwin applications are neither Windows nor Linux applications). > But I could not find any Unix libraries to generate the Linux compatible binaries. > Could you please advice any steps that I can follow? Just like you'd do on any other non-Linux system: set up a cross-compilation toolchain and start compiling all dependencies until you can finally compile whatever Linux application you wanted orginally.
