The problem is not really Windows versus Linux, but 32 versus 64-bit. If you tried 64-bit Windows I am not sure you would have much more success. But 64-bit Windows is hardly common so the point is moot.
I remember trying to compile and run EQEmu in 64-bit some time ago. I could more or less fix the compile errors, just to have the emu crash on startup (Segmentation fault). I did not investigate further and ended up installing a 32-bit chroot on my server. If anyone has suceeded in making EQEmu run on a 64-bit Linux I would be happy to hear about it too.
Until we get this kind of answer the 32-bit chroot works fine. Or simply install a 32-bit version of Linux if you server is just for the emu.
