Development on linux?

Original post by Joshuad I'm currently dual booting between windows XP and Fedora 10. I'm just curious if developing software designed for windows would be flawed by developing them on a linux environment.

Not as long as you know what you're doing. If you've got a working cross-compiler, a working development environment (Windows headers and libraries), etc, then I can't think of any major hurdle. Testing your software, OTOH, could prove more difficult.

With nice cross platform librarys like wx widgets giving you a nice level of abstraction from the Os it would be pretty comfortable.

I find that developing on Linux and taking it to windows can be less painful than windows to Linux as windows can often be a tad more forgiving when you start doing ugly stuff with memory.
