I am curious... is it possible to create Linux binaries with Visual C++? This would save me tons of time, in general (from compiling to jed''ing the file, going to the error line, fixing, and rinse+repeating that).

No.
Not with Visual C++, but possible on MS Windows, with a
cross-compiler.

Could the cross-compiler be "plugged-in" like the Intel C++ compiler is used? (as an alternative to the MSVC compiler)

No.


GCC can do it.

Using gcc would be, by definition, not using Visual C++. Read the original post again.

You can use Dev C++ or some other GCC compiler based package for creating Linux static libraries (.a). Not sure about .so, have never tried it but I wouldn''t have thought so.
