I think you got this backwards: Octavian wants to generate Linux executables on a Windows machine because Windows applications are more accessible to a blind person. I originally found this very surprising too, but it looks like GUI applications are actually much faster to navigate with assistive technologies than commandline applications: You can navigate tree controls and dropdown boxes with keyboard shortcuts whereas in a plain text interface you have to wait for the screen reader to finish reading all the content. Of course all of this depends on your windowing system providing the right hooks for sophisticated screen readers. Cheers, -Jan
