Ubuntu and Windows. I will be using visual studio on a Windows
PC for the programming. I know how to make the install files for
Windows.  I just need to know how to make the files Linux uses
for programs in Visual Studio?  If you don't know visual studio
could some one tell be the extensions used on install files or
runnable executable(for Linux).  share|improve this question
Visual Studio is a Windows thing. Don't bother setting that up

of cross-platform toolkits listed in the What IDEs are available
question. Notably: Qt, Code::blocks, and Eclipse CDT. –  hbdgaf
