This is a bad idea. It will not work. Don't even bother.

The reason there is a nice friendly linux port for VPython is so that you
can use it under Linux.

Repeat after me, "Linux version: Good! Windows version: bad!".

:)

Compiling the Linux version is easy. You just need to get RPMs (from
rpmfind.net) for the libraries it needs -- primarily the Mesa/GL devel libs,
and GtkGLArea4/5 (whatever, either will work) devel libs.
