[Mono-list] compile VC++ source code on SUSUE..

[Matthew McDonald]

You may also want to look at wine (www.winehq.org). IIRC they have a number
of libraries to aid in compiling windows programs in Linux. They also have a
tool that can act as a sort of emulation layer for Windows programs under
Linux without recompiling your program through means of implementing the
windows API for Linux.

P.S. I know that technically speaking Wine Is Not an Emulator, but even the
wine guys use the term to describe what it does in practice.
