Compiling windows wallet in linux.

[CaptainHash]

I know that you can compile windows apps in linux using mingw.
Has anyone managed to compile a windows wallet under linux, yet?
I tried the search, and I googled, but I couldn't find anything useful on that topic.

I don't want to setup a windows machine just for compiling, there has to be a way to build it on my linux box.
Thanks alot!

Virtualbox?

Instructions for doing a gitian build with virtual box were added to the docs directory recently.

Gitian runs in a virtual machine, so you are running a virtual machine in a virtual machine.  That means that it is pretty slow.

Awesome. That was what I was looking for.
Hoped it would work without a vm, but at least it doesn't involve installing windows.

It should work without a virtual machine (probably). 

Thanks should go to Laanwj for writing the guide.
