I'm fast running out of time trying to get a bunch of stuff ready for a conference in about six weeks time. In an attempt to convert a group of M$ devotees to the wonderfull world of penguins, I have hit a brick wall. I have a C/C++ application that I have been told will compile and run in a Microsoft environment - Whilst I can compile and test it under Linux, I don't have the tools for MS.
I have all the sources on a CD along with Tcl/Tk for the GUI frontend.
You can cross compile the source into a native win32 executable using MinGW http://www.mingw.org/, then you can test the generated win32 executable using wine http://www.winehq.com/ or compile the win32 source into a native linux executable using wine's api. Or you can test the executable under plex86 http://www.plex86.org/ or as has already been said, vmware. The win32 executables for quakeforge http://www.quakeforge.org/ are generated with mingw, and I can attest they work quite well. :)
If MFC is involved though, you might find you're out of luck.
