   It depends on the language that the application is written in. For example, I have written Java web applications that are deployed and run on Linux servers, but my development, testing, and build environment was MS-Windows.

   It is also not too hard to write C/C++ programs that will run on any UNIX-like system, including Linux. But the actual build does have to be done on the intended operating system unless you have a so-called "cross-compiler". Such a compiler allows you to name a target system for which you are building the application.
