Your opinions please: how to produce standalone exe file for win32 & linux?
(My apologies if this is too general or too easy to be of great interest...)
Say you wanted to make a small, simple program that fulfilled the following criteria:
1. Must be able to distribute as a standalone exe file (it can NOT rely on the user having any library or frameworks).
2. Must be able to run on win32 AND Linux (it CAN have two different exe files, one for win, one for linux)
3. Is a window-style program, not console. That is, has buttons, allows user input, returns result to user.
How would you go about it?
What language, IDE, etc would you use?
What example source code is available?
Specifics greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I definitely agree that QT is the way to go for a static binary without need for a JVM.

go with QT opensource edition (free) or Turbo Delphi (free).
both are excellent tools with no beholding to Microsoft.
lots of example code is available for c/c++ but also for Delphi.
