That being said, if you use an ODROID, your code will have to be POSIX-compliant. The advantage of working in MinGW is that your code would not need to be ported over. You'd already have Linux-compatible code.
That being said, if you are using your ODROID, programming on it would be easiest of all. Though in Linux, VC++ doesn't exist so you should probably learn another IDE like Eclipse or something. I am an everyday Linux user so my preffered environment is VIM and a terminal! QCreator does though...
If you use CMake, compiling should be really easy. You just need to write your own CMakeLists.txt file. Or does ccmake generate one for you?
In the end, it's your choice. Running your vision code on a Linux box gives you the speed and reliability you need for any kind of server applicance such as this. Management is really easy through tools like SSH or Telnet. And it's also an excellent learning experience because in industry, Linux is used virtually everywhere because of its reliability.
Good luck with your code!

I use ccmake to generate the CMakeLists.txt. It does a good job because it finds what is on the computer and automatically enables it. It took me 15 minutes to get everything set up after I found the resources.
VC++ is basically C++ with some nice extras. However, I wrote my program mostly in strict C++.
I like RDP because i actually get a headed system that i can work on. I also like UART debugging because you even get those kernel messages in realtime
I guess this is really my opinion, but Linux is one of the best implemented kernel, apart from BSD, and if all the man-hours were used to make a good distro like Ubuntu, we would see Linux EVERYWHERE. Pretty soon, Windows will go extinct because my computer cannot stay on for more than a week before starting to completely glitch out.
Has anyone ever used an ODROID? What was your experience and were you able to overclock to 2GHz? That should be 1.5x as fast as my i3 dual core 1.4GHz.
Also, we don't have an ODROID, but we might try to get access to one.
