You could try to build Bino on Windows using MinGW, but it might take
some work to get and build all required libraries.

If you have an NVIDIA Quadro card, you just need to set the option
"Stereo" in the "Device" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf. See your
NVIDIA driver documentation, file xconfigoptions.html.
(Online here:
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/310.40/README/xconfigoptions.html).

If you don't have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf yet, or want to recreate it for
the NVIDIA driver, use 'nvidia-xconfig --stereo=XYZ' (choose stereo
value from the documentation mentioned above).
