Unless you can create some virtual windows machine on Linux, the same executable cannot run on both environments. However, you can code your CVI application so that it can be compiled and executed under Linux with the use ot the appropriate runtime.
In doing so, please consider that:
- The Linux Runtime is a different product to be purchased separately from NI. See here for relevant informations on this product
- Not all CVI functions can be used under Linux: some functions typical of Windows environment simply do not exist under Linux, while others have not been (yet?) exported. This white paper introduces features and characteristics of the programming environment for Linux
Consider also that there are only a few programmers developing their applications under Linux (no, I'm not one of them) and the material available on the forums is consequently reduced.
