I have a Windows 7 laptop with an Ubuntu 12.04 installation on the same machine.

I am trying to compile a program from source (VowPal Wabbit). I tried using Cygwin but had no luck getting it to work. I ended up installing Ubuntu 12.04 to get access to get a functioning compiler.

It worked on the Ubuntu side but I am curious if there is a way to bring the compiled files over to Windows as that’s where I actually do most of my work. More specifically, will programs compiled in Ubuntu function on a Windows machine?

Any suggestions?

    You should check out MinGW:

    MinGW, a contraction of “Minimalist GNU for Windows”, is a minimalist
    development environment for native Microsoft Windows applications.
