have you ever seen a .exe file that turned out to be an ELF executable? like, for linux? i wish i could say this was hypothetical
@typhlosion yeah... just named by non unix people or maybe created with a ported build script
@typhlosion I keep thinking I once saw a single file that had both Windows and Linux executable payloads, but it was probably some intentionally wonky demoscene thing.
@typhlosion ah, the good old "just rename it" trick
@typhlosion dune, the current favourite build tool for ocaml, names the executables it builds as whatever.exe, regardless of os, and i hate it :(
@typhlosion where I work, the executable binaries produced are suffixed with ".exe", even though they are for Linux.
@typhlosion yes
Also .exe which was a bash script which did its own self-extracting installer for Linux.
@typhlosion yeah, several times, usually by windows devs who don't know what they're doing or C# programs compiled for linux
