    Question Open Source on Windows

    I have downloaded one OS project. That is actually for Linux but i had to compile it on windows also.
    I know when we download Qt OS, it has 3 different links for 3 different platforms(Win/Mac/X11).

    Main problem is with the configuration script, its not supported on windows.
    But if we have code written in c++ then anyhow we can compile it on windows also.
    TIA

    Then you should implement its own on Windows.

    You could use mingw, it has shell, and might be able to execute the configuration script successfully.
    Or you'll need to create Makefiles and config.h manually.

    I can not try Mingw because when i run this application we always need mingw installed on that machine.
    And Mingw because it will create same binaries which will only run on linus env. Or if we want to run them we need to install Mingw or Cygwin kinda linux env.

    Therefore it dont solves my purpose.
    we need to compile the OS project and create an .exe file.
