Compiling from Linux to Windows

Question

I want to compile my program from linux to run on Windows as exe. I know how to do it with mingw64 etc. but real problem is Windows doesn't have libraries of code but linux has. How can i compile it?

#define <sys/socket.h>
#define <arpa/inet.h>
#define <netinet/in.h>
int main(){

//some codes etc.

}

Answer 1

You may use Windows Sockets 2 ( Winsock ) which is used for socket programming in Windows:

#include <winsock2.h>
#include <ws2tcpip.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "Ws2_32.lib")

int main()
{
}

Answer 2

#ifdef __WIN32__
    #include <winsock2.h>
#else
    #include <sys/socket.h>
#endif

Why not try preprocessor macros?
