Is it possible to compile .so files on windows? I'm developing for asss on windows, but the public server will be run on linux.

Thanks in advance

Can you install a compiler on the public server instead?

yeah, it's called cross compiling, although I have no idea how to do it. At least that's a start for google though.

You can only compile .so modules (C) under a linux platform...

For windows you can use .dll, but that won't work on a linux server.

Purge, did you completely miss Bak-'s post?
For instance, take this page, that details cross-compiling on Linux.
http://kerneltrap.org/node/4098

And also, this page.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_compiler

This is by no means comprehensive, but it may point you in the right direction. If someone is to find a good way to compile AS3 modules for Windows on Linux or vice-versa, such as a pre-packaged version of gcc that allows for that, I think that would be a really good thing to have available here, or possibly even make a wiki on.
