I never did, you can use WSL https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10. Actually generating the Linux executable can already do it. It is necessary to test your application on Linux while on Windows. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2017/02/targeting-windows-subsystem-for-linux-from-visual-studio/ and https://www.hanselman.com/blog/WritingAndDebuggingLinuxCApplicationsFromVisualStudioUsingTheWindowsSubsystemForLinux.aspx

This tutorial by Microsoft exemplifies how to do this in visual studio, but to run according to the tutorial you will need a Linux machine connected remotely (I’m not sure if it would be possible to use a virtual machine)apparently the same procedure serves for raspbery pi or any other variation of linux.
