I want to generate the Linux compatible binaries on Windows System.
If you are on a recent Windows version your easiest option is probably
to use WSL and use native compilation on Linux. second easiest is
likely to set up a VM to run Linux in (that might actually be easier
than WSL if you already have some virtualisation environment set up for
something else, but you said you were on Windows).
Cygwin is a cross compiler which offers POSIX environment.
No, Cygwin is a user-space layer on top of Windows that provides a POSIX
environment for applications that target Cygwin (i.e. Cygwin
applications are neither Windows nor Linux applications).
But I could not find any Unix libraries to generate the Linux compatible
binaries.
Could you please advice any steps that I can follow?
Just like you'd do on any other non-Linux system: set up a
cross-compilation toolchain and start compiling all dependencies until
you can finally compile whatever Linux application you wanted orginally.
Following up my previous post and the two others I have seen ...
Cross-compilation is a definite possibility. However, you can't test
the result directly under Windows or Cygwin. If you want to test, then
AFAIK a VM (or maybe qemu?) is your only option.
