[nothing-to-see-here]

can you compile a windows app in linux? I know that the compiler normally scans your environment.

Yeah you can definitely compile apps for different OS. Most developers do this in fact.

Is there any specific reason for asking this question or is it just a general enquiry?

I ask because yes it's possible but you may need to take additional steps to do so e.g. change the compiler, change variables, etc.

Note that cross-compilation isn't uncommon, not just with Windows but with various other platforms e.g. mobile apps.

it's a general inquiry. someone asked me, and I thought it was possible, but I didn't know how. I compile on both, but I wasn't sure if that was needed.
