I am new to using trec_eval program, and want to generate the binary of it in Windows 8.1 64 bit machine.
I tried using GNU make command to create the binary of it, but I get the following error :
Note : I tried the same from Cygwin 64 bit terminal on my system, but it failed too.
Is it not possible to do this in Windows at all ?

There is a program developed for linguistic research (http://people.csail.mit.edu/mcollins/code.html). When I try to run the parser using Git bash terminal on Windows, I get the error:
bash: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error.
First, I assumed it's because of my 64-bit OS, since the file is 32-bit. So, I tried the program on a 32-bit system, but got the same message.
Any ideas on how to fix the issue?:
file (program) shows:
ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, with debug_info, not stripped
uname -srv for my 64-bit OS, shows:
MINGW64_NT-10.0-19042 3.1.7-340.x86_64 2021-03-26 22:17 UTC
uname -srv for my 32-bit OS, shows:
MINGW32_NT-6.1-7601 3.1.7-340.i686 2021-03-26 22:01 UTC
P.S.: If you'd like to give it a try, this code should work in the program directory, but it doesn't work for me:
gunzip -c models/model2/events.gz | code/parser examples/sec23.tagged models/model2/grammar 10000 1 1 1 1 > examples/sec23.model2
As indicated by file, your program is a Linux application so you can't run it on Windows. See
Why does a linux compiled program not work on Windows
Why won't Windows EXE files work on Linux?
Why do you need to recompile C/C++ for each OS?
Mingw is not an environment for running Linux executables, it's just a compiler that compiles POSIX code into native Windows binaries. Neither is Cygwin, which is a reimplementation of POSIX system calls in Windows, and Cygwin binaries are also native Windows binaries with a dependency on Cygwin DLLs. Read this if you want to know their differences. Bash is a shell and isn't a platform to execute files either. Only the runtime platform (OS or something like JVM or .NET CLR VM) can run programs and a shell is just a tool to interact with the OS
So you must run Linux programs in a Linux environment like a Linux machine or WSL1/2. Since the program is 32-bit, you can only run it in Linux or WSL2
Since you have the source code you can also compile the code with mingw or cygwin and run on Windows
Thanks to the answer provided by #phuclv, I realized I need to run the program in Linux. So, I installed 32-bit Linux (I used Linux Mint Debian Edition) on a virtual machine (VirtualBox) on my 64-bit Windows 10, and it worked!
I am trying to build an old program and have to do it on windows. In the build instructions i am required to use autoreconf and therefore i need to have autotools.
I have tried searching for it for a while and installing cygwin or gnuWin32 but I have come to a conclusion that those bins only work for a 32 bit operating system.Is there any way I can get those binaries for a 64 bit system?
I need 64 bit windows library for my 64 bit library. I am not able to find any 64 bit libcurl from the libcurl community. They only provide 64 bit in MingW64 or CygWin.
My problem is I dont if I can use 64 bit libCurl compiled in MingW or CygWin in windows or not? if it can be used, how can I do it?
Is there a way I can compile my own 64 bit Windows version? Or Has any one in past tried it?
I am referring:- http://curl.haxx.se/download.html
I am having this issue too, but I did seem to get the x64 libcurl. I downloaded the 64bit curl and from extracting it and looking through the curl files found the libcurl. Looking at the documentation in curl-7.43.0 => winbuild => build.windows helped me set the "target architecture" to x64. Then somewhere in the curl directory is the libcurl.lib they use and you can just copy paste that.
Note:
Libcurl wasn't compiling correctly for me. Updating the Windows SDK fixed this on my Virtual Machine.
When I create an .exe with iExpress (in Windows 8) and try to run it on Win7, 32 bit, I get an error dialog that says: "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32 bit) or x64 (64 bit) version of the program."
Is an iExpress .exe incompatible with Win 7 32 bit??
It sounds very much like you are creating a 64 bit executable, which cannot run on a 32 bit system. If you use the IExpress version from the 64 bit system directory, C:\Windows\System32, then you will indeed create a 64 bit executable.
You'll need to create a 32 bit executable instead, which you can do by running the 32 bit version of IExpress. That is found in the 32 bit system directory, C:\Windows\SysWOW64. Or you can use your 32 bit machine to create the executable.
I created executable using pyinstaller 2.0 and python2.7 on ubuntu 12.04 32bit (so I assume python is also 32bit).
It's a simple program in console (no gui), that connects to TCP/IP server and send frames.
It works under my ubuntu 32bit, but it does not run on Windows 7 32bit and 64bit.
On Win32bit it returns error "Device is not ready", and on Win64bit it returns error that "application has wrong architecture".
Where can be cause of this?
Here is a link to whole app code (it's small) http://pastebin.com/qj96vpgK
The Linux version of PyInstaller can not make .exes or any non-Linux-native format. In order to make a Windows executable, you need to either use WINE (or at least they say, but I'm not sure how to do that), or use a Windows computer.
Additionally, if the Windows computer you use is 32-bit, it can not make 64-bit binaries. If you have a 64-bit install of Windows, it can make 64-bit binaries easily, but in order to make 32-bit ones, you need to install a 32-bit version of Python (and all the required libraries for your program).
Thus, one way to make both 32- and 64-bit executables for a given program, copy your code over to a Windows 64-bit OS, install the 32 and 64-bit Python and pywin32, and use PyInstaller using each different Python.
