How to compile a windows program in Linux

[camper365]

I am trying to write a program using Linux, and compile it into a Windows program.
How do I do that.
I know it's called cross-compiling, and I have looked a mingw, but I couldn't find anything there.

I think you need a windows compiler for that.

To compile for Linux is:

gcc -Wall -o foo foo.c

To compile for windows is:

i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -Wall -o foo.exe foo.c
