WSL should solve that handily. I use it daily and test and compile my programs on both Windows and Linux. On the other hand I also stay away from projects that don't use cross-platform build-systems like Ninja, or CMake. Shell scripts are sometimes incompatible even between different distributions and shells. The worst offender (that I know of) by far is GNU Octave. On Windows they basically ship a snapshot of a Linux dev box (complete with the whole directory tree, compiler suite and everything) with userland binaries compiled for Windows. So much for being "cross-platform"...
