gcc won't compile to executable in shared folder

Question

I have dual boot windows - ubuntu on my laptop. I wanted to have a shared partition for my documents so I created a fat partition with my files and mounted it on ubuntu.

The problem is the following:

I tried to create a simple "helloworld" program in C language (I named the file test.c). When the file is in ~/Documents I can compile and run it as expected. When I move test.c in shared directory, a.out file is created but it is not executable. If I chmod +x ./a.out, then the output is ./a.out: command not found.

Any idea?

I am facing the same issue, I don't want the complied version to run on both the operating systems. I only want to be able the run the debugger on ubuntu. and just read and edit the text from windows. any solutions ? — amalp12

The possible reason may be c language is not platform independent. So code written in one os won't be accessible from other os. As the folder is shared by two os this problem may have raised.
