Building Windows Guest Additions on Linux?

Building Windows Guest Additions on Linux?

My build only contains the Guest Additions for Linux.

I want to also package the Windows Guest Additions in the ISO file.

Is there any instructions on how to do this on Linux?

Nope. The builds are OS specific. TO build Windows GAs you need to build on Windows.

BTW they are also bit specific, so building on 64-bit you do not have the 32-bit GAs.
